Pyeloplasty is a type of kidney surgery done to clear a blockage where the kidney meets the ureter and the surgeon removes the part of the ureter that is narrowed and reattaches the ureter to the kidney so that urine drainage is restored.
It is regarded as the best possible treatment for UPJ obstruction. The surgery can be done as an open procedure, laparoscopic, or robotic surgery depending on the patient. With minimally invasive surgery, patients will get back to normal much quicker and the success of the surgery is just as good.
People with UPJ obstruction who have associated symptoms or loss of kidney function are candidates for pyeloplasty. This surgery is encouraged when there is significant hydronephrosis due to blockage. Those with worsening kidney function, recurrent abdominal pain and abdominal infections also need surgery. There is no age limit to pyeloplasty surgery.
Pyeloplasty is successful in adults and children, but the underlying causes may be different. In children, UPJ obstruction can be congenital. In adults, it may be due to scarring or crossing vessels. The surgery is similar in both adults and children and aims to improve drainage and preserve the kidney. Results are excellent in both adults and children.
The obstruction is relieved, and urine flows freely from the kidney. This prevents further damage to the kidney. Early surgery maintains the function of the kidney and improves it in many patients. The preservation of the kidney is an important aim of pyeloplasty, especially in children and young adults.
The procedure is done under general anesthesia. The obstructed UPJ is identified and removed. The ureter is relocated and reattached to the renal pelvis to form a broad, unobstructed junction. A temporary internal stent is inserted to facilitate healing. The reconstruction is verified to be watertight.
Pyeloplasty is a definitive treatment for obstruction of urine flow and preservation of kidney function. It is a pain-relieving procedure that prevents further kidney damage. The success rate of the procedure is very high.
Pyeloplasty is generally safe, but potential risks exist. Most are uncommon and manageable.
Recovery is normally smooth, especially with minimally invasive procedures. Patients begin walking the next day. Hospital stay is normally two to four days. Mild pain or fatigue may be experienced temporarily. The stent stays for a few weeks to aid in healing. Return to normal activity is gradual.
