About Pyeloplasty

Pyeloplasty is a specialized surgical procedure performed to correct a blockage or narrowing at the junction where the kidney's drainage system (the renal pelvis) meets the ureter, a condition known as ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). This obstruction can impair urine flow from the kidney to the bladder, potentially leading to kidney damage, pain, infections, or stone formation. The primary goal of the surgery is to remove the narrowed segment and reconstruct a wide, funnel-shaped connection to restore normal, unobstructed urinary drainage. While traditionally performed by urologists, a nephrologist may be involved in the comprehensive medical management of the patient's kidney function before and after the procedure, especially in complex cases involving compromised renal health. Modern techniques often utilize minimally invasive approaches like laparoscopic or robot-assisted surgery, which offer benefits like smaller incisions and faster recovery.

Key Highlights

Effectively corrects ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) to restore normal urine flow.Helps preserve long-term kidney function and prevent progressive damage.Often performed using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopic/robotic) for less post-operative pain and scarring.Can alleviate chronic flank or abdominal pain associated with the obstruction.Reduces the risk of recurrent kidney infections and stone formation.Typically a one-time, definitive surgical solution for the obstruction./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Symptomatic ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) causing significant flank or abdominal pain.
Progressive worsening of kidney function (declining renal function tests) due to the obstruction.
Recurrent kidney infections (pyelonephritis) linked to poor drainage.
Development of kidney stones in the obstructed system.
Significant and increasing hydronephrosis (swelling of the kidney) visible on imaging scans.
High-grade obstruction in infants or children to support normal kidney growth and development.

How to prepare

Comprehensive medical evaluation including blood tests, urine analysis, and imaging (CT urogram, renal scan) to confirm diagnosis and plan surgery.
Detailed consultation with the surgical and nephrology team to discuss the procedure, risks, and benefits.
Management of any active urinary tract infection with antibiotics prior to surgery.
Fasting for 6-8 hours before the procedure as per anesthesia guidelines.
Adjustment or temporary cessation of certain medications like blood thinners, as advised by the doctor.
Arranging for help and support at home during the initial recovery period.

Risks & possible complications

Bleeding during or after the procedure, which may rarely require a blood transfusion.
Infection at the surgical site or in the urinary tract.
Injury to surrounding organs, blood vessels, or nerves.
Persistent urine leakage from the surgical connection, which may require prolonged drainage with a stent.
Recurrence of the obstruction or narrowing (restenosis) requiring further intervention.
Risks associated with general anesthesia, such as allergic reactions or breathing problems.
Formation of scar tissue (adhesions) internally.

Recovery & hospital stay

Hospital stay typically lasts 2-4 days for monitoring, pain management, and ensuring the surgical site is healing.
A temporary internal stent is usually left in place for 4-6 weeks to support healing and drainage, which is later removed in a simple procedure.
Patients are encouraged to walk soon after surgery to aid recovery but must avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for 4-6 weeks.
Pain is managed with prescribed medications, and a follow-up appointment is scheduled to monitor healing and kidney function.
Drinking plenty of fluids is important to maintain good urine flow and help prevent infections.
Full recovery and return to normal activities, including work, usually takes 3-6 weeks, depending on the surgical approach and individual healing.

Typical hospital stay: 2-4 days
Expected recovery time: 3-6 weeks

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been to three other doctors...

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Sukanya was different. She actually sat and listened to the whole, messy story, asked about things no one else had, and ordered a specific test the others hadn't. Turns out it was something quite rare. She explained it to me in plain Tamil, drew a little diagram on her notepad. I felt heard for the first time, and finally had a path forward.
