Overview
Pyeloplasty is performed to correct ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, a condition that blocks urine flow from the kidney to the ureter, causing swelling, pain, and kidney damage.
The procedure restores normal urine flow, relieves pain, and prevents long-term renal complications. Both open and minimally invasive techniques, including laparoscopic and robotic surgery, are available for effective results.
Indications and Preoperative Assessment
Patients present with flank pain, recurrent urinary infections, or impaired kidney function. Preoperative imaging such as ultrasound, CT, or nuclear scans helps assess the degree of obstruction and plan the optimal surgical approach.
Surgical Techniques and Approaches
Pyeloplasty can be performed using open, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted techniques. The obstructed segment of the ureter is removed and the ureter is reconnected to the renal pelvis to restore unobstructed urine flow.
Recovery and Follow-up Care
Postoperative care includes catheter or stent management, pain control, and follow-up imaging to ensure successful drainage and kidney function recovery.
