Pyeloplasty

Pyeloplasty is a surgical procedure designed to correct an obstruction or narrowing in the renal pelvis, the part of the kidney that collects urine. This obstruction often results from a congenital condition called ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction or other acquired causes. During pyeloplasty, the surgeon typically removes the obstructed segment and reconstructs the urinary tract to restore proper drainage. This can be achieved through open surgery or minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy or robot-assisted surgery. Pyeloplasty aims to enhance urinary flow, alleviate symptoms, and preserve kidney function, making it a crucial intervention for individuals with UPJ obstruction.
