We established a porcine model of ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction using a laparoscopic technique and assessed the outcome of standard suture-assisted and chemical glue-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty. Female domestic pigs (N = 20) underwent laparoscopic suture-ligature to create UPJ obstr...
