About Anderson Hynes Pyeloplasty

Anderson Hynes Pyeloplasty is a specialized surgical procedure performed by a urologist to correct a congenital or acquired narrowing (stenosis) at the junction where the kidney's drainage system (renal pelvis) meets the ureter. This condition, known as ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, can impair urine flow, leading to kidney swelling (hydronephrosis), pain, infections, and potential kidney damage. The procedure involves surgically removing the narrowed segment and reconstructing a wide, funnel-shaped connection to restore normal, unobstructed urine drainage from the kidney to the bladder. It is considered the gold-standard open surgical treatment for UPJ obstruction, offering a high long-term success rate in preserving kidney function and relieving symptoms.

Key Highlights

    Gold-standard open surgical correction for UPJ obstruction.High long-term success rate (90%) in relieving obstruction.Preserves and often improves kidney function.Effectively alleviates associated pain and recurrent infections.Provides a durable, anatomical solution compared to less invasive stenting procedures.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Symptomatic ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction causing flank or abdominal pain.
  • Progressive kidney swelling (hydronephrosis) on imaging studies.
  • Impaired kidney function or split renal function loss on a nuclear renal scan.
  • Recurrent kidney infections (pyelonephritis) due to poor drainage.
  • Development of kidney stones in the obstructed system.
  • High-grade obstruction in infants or children to prevent long-term damage.
  • Failure of previous endoscopic or less invasive procedures.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive evaluation including CT urogram or MR urogram to confirm diagnosis.
  • Renal function tests and a nuclear renal scan (DTPA or MAG3) to assess kidney function.
  • Pre-operative urine analysis and culture to rule out active infection.
  • Discussion of anesthesia risks and medical history review with the anesthesiologist.
  • Fasting for 6-8 hours before surgery as instructed.
  • Discontinuation of blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, warfarin) as advised by the urologist.
  • Arranging for help and time off work for the recovery period.

Risks & possible complications

  • Bleeding during or after surgery, potentially requiring transfusion.
  • Infection at the surgical site or urinary tract infection.
  • Injury to surrounding organs (intestines, blood vessels, spleen, liver).
  • Persistent urine leakage from the repair site.
  • Recurrence of the obstruction or stricture formation.
  • Anesthesia-related risks (allergic reaction, breathing difficulties).
  • Formation of a urinoma (collection of urine) requiring drainage.
  • Scar tissue formation (adhesions) causing future pain or bowel obstruction.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Hospital stay typically lasts 3-5 days for monitoring and pain management.
  • A temporary internal stent (Double-J stent) is usually left in place for 4-6 weeks to support healing.
  • Pain is managed with prescribed medications; avoid strenuous activity for 4-6 weeks.
  • Keep the surgical incision clean and dry; watch for signs of infection (redness, discharge, fever).
  • Drink plenty of fluids to maintain good urine flow.
  • Avoid heavy lifting (more than 5-10 kg) for at least 6 weeks.
  • Follow-up appointments are crucial for stent removal and imaging (ultrasound) to confirm success.
  • Most patients can return to non-strenuous work within 2-3 weeks.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 3-5 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 4-6 weeks for full activity resumption

PATIENT REVIEW

Navya Shah, a 28-year-old graphic designer,...

Navya Shah, a 28-year-old graphic designer, had always been active and healthy. For over a year, she had been plagued by a dull, constant ache in her right flank that would occasionally sharpen into debilitating pain, especially after long hours at her desk. Multiple courses of antibiotics for suspected UTIs provided no relief. A CT scan finally revealed the culprit: a congenital narrowing (ureteropelvic junction obstruction or UPJ) in her right kidney's drainage system, causing it to swell painfully. Her urologist, Dr. Mehta, explained that the blockage was damaging her kidney's function over time and recommended an Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty, a robotic procedure to remove the narrowed segment and reconnect the healthy parts. Terrified of surgery but desperate for relief, Navya agreed. The minimally invasive robotic surgery went smoothly. The first few days of recovery were uncomfortable, but the constant flank ache was gone. Six weeks later, a follow-up scan showed dramatically improved drainage and preserved kidney function. Navya's emotional journey shifted from chronic anxiety and frustration about the undiagnosed pain to immense relief and gratitude. She felt she had reclaimed her life and could focus on her career without the shadow of constant discomfort.
