LAPAROSCOPIC PYELOPLASTY
LAPAROSCOPIC PYELOPLASTY
Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to correct UPJ obstruction by removing the narrowed segment between the kidney and ureter and reconstructing it to restore normal urine flow. This advanced technique uses small keyhole incisions and specialized instruments, resulting in less pain and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Why & when is Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty recommended?
Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty is advised when UPJ obstruction causes impaired urine drainage from the kidney, leading to symptoms or reduced kidney function. This minimally invasive procedure removes the narrowed segment and reconstructs the ureter to restore normal urine flow, helping preserve long-term kidney health.
Persistent flank or abdominal pain – Ongoing discomfort caused by urine buildup in the kidney.
Progressive hydronephrosis – Increasing kidney swelling seen on imaging studies.
Reduced kidney function – Detected on renal scans indicating poor drainage.
Recurrent urinary tract infections – Frequent infections due to stagnant urine.
Blood in urine (hematuria) – Occurring as a result of pressure or irritation.
Failure of conservative or endoscopic treatments – When observation or minimally invasive measures do not provide lasting relief.
