About Ureterocele Repair Unilateral

Ureterocele repair unilateral is a specialized urological surgery performed to correct a congenital or acquired balloon-like swelling (ureterocele) at the lower end of a single ureter where it enters the bladder. This condition can obstruct urine flow, cause urinary tract infections, and potentially damage the kidney on that side. The procedure, typically performed by a urologist, involves either an endoscopic incision to open the obstructed ureterocele or an open/laparoscopic surgical reconstruction to excise the ureterocele and reimplant the ureter into the bladder. The primary goals are to restore normal urinary drainage, preserve kidney function, prevent recurrent infections, and alleviate associated symptoms like pain or incontinence. It is a crucial intervention to prevent long-term renal damage.

Key Highlights

PATIENT REVIEW

My dad was admitted to MGM...

My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
