Abstract

Objectives The one-knot running ureteropelvic anastomosis is a modification of the single-knot running suture that was previously described for urethrovesical anastomosis. In this study, we present a novel porcine model for laparoscopic pyeloplasty training and report the results obtained in patients who underwent one-knot pyeloplasty.
