SUMMARY
Ureteropelvic junction obstruction and stones present a treatment challenge for the minimally invasive surgeon. We presented a pyelolithotomy whit an ibrid laparoscopic-robotic approach. The use of the da Vinci robotic interface has the potential to refine the laparoscopic technique and improve outcomes.
