Introduction: It was aimed to evaluation of our results in retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasty for the treatment of ureteropelvic obstruction. Materials and Methods: In flank position, retroperitoneal space was dissected with a balloon. The operations were performed through three 10 mm laporoscopic trocars. After the placement of a Double J stent, the anostomosis was sutured in cases with dismembered pyeloplasty. A drain was left in surgical field. The cases were followed with a three months period. Results: There were four male and one female patient, whose median age was 11 (min-max: 6-17) years. The operation time was a median 180 (min-max: 130-195) minutes. Dismembered pyeloplasty were performed in four cases and Fenger technique was performed in one case. Aberrant vessel was detected in one Dismembered Pyeloplasty case. The hospital stay time was a median 7 (5-7) days. Urinary leakage lasted for 10 days in Fenger pyeloplasty case. The following time was a median 4.5 (min-max: 3-7) months and renal units were normal in this period. Conclusion: Retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasty could be preferred for suitable cases in pediatric age group, however this technique needs experience.
