Robot Surgery in Children

The most important functions of the kidneys are to clean the toxic substances from the blood and ensure that they are excreted as urine. After the urine is produced by the kidneys, it is transported to the urinary bladder (bladder) via tubes called ureters and stored.

The ureterovesical junction is the junction of the bladder and the tube-shaped ureters that carry urine from the kidney to the bladder, called the bladder. Ureterovesical junction stenosis describes the obstruction in this region.

Urine produced by the kidneys is first collected in a pool called the renal pelvis and then transported to the bladder (urinary bladder) by tube-like structures called ureters. The stenosis that develops at the junction of the renal pelvis and the ureters is defined as ureteropelvic junction stenosis.

Nerves controlling the bladder exit from the waist. These nerves may be affected due to congenital diseases such as menomyelocele developing in this region or trauma or surgery to the lumbar region.

Bladder diverticulum is a condition that can develop congenital (congenital) or later (acquired), fills and empties with urine in the bladder wall and gives the appearance of a separate urinary bladder. In its acquired form, obstruction at the bladder outlet, dysfunction of the bladder due to nerve damage and previous surgeries may be the cause.

Kidneys usually have tubular structures called ureters that carry urine to the bladder (urinary bag). Sometimes, a kidney may consist of two separate parts, and both kidney parts may have separate ureters.
