What is Pyeloplasty?
Pyeloplasty involves the removal of the obstructed segment at the ureteropelvic junction and reconstructing a wide, patent passageway between the renal pelvis and ureter to restore normal urine flow. The surgery can be performed via open, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted approaches depending on patient factors and case complexity.
Why is Pyeloplasty Performed?
- To relieve ureteropelvic junction obstruction causing symptoms such as flank pain, urinary tract infections, or impaired kidney function
- To prevent long-term damage due to urine buildup and kidney swelling (hydronephrosis)
- To restore proper urine drainage and improve kidney health
Types of Pyeloplasty
- Open Pyeloplasty: Traditional surgery with a larger incision, used in complex cases
- Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty: Minimally invasive surgery using small incisions and camera-guided instruments
