Transperitoneal left laparoscopic pyeloplasty with transmesocolic access to the pelvi‐ureteric junction: technique description and results with a minimum follow‐up of 1 year

To describe and evaluate the safety and outcome of transperitoneal left laparoscopic pyeloplasty (TLLP) with a direct approach to the pelvi‐ureteric junction (PUJ) through the mesentero‐colic space, which avoids mobilization of the descending colon.
