Pyeloplasty (UPJ Obstruction Repair) Treatment in India

About Pyeloplasty (UPJ Obstruction Repair)

Pyeloplasty repairs a blockage at the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ), the point where the kidney connects to the ureter, which can cause urine to back up and damage the kidney over time. Using minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic techniques, surgeons reconstruct the narrowed segment to restore normal urine drainage and protect kidney function.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Flank or abdominal pain, often worsening with fluid intake
  • Nausea or vomiting during pain episodes
  • Recurrent urinary tract infections
  • Blood in the urine
  • Poor growth or failure to thrive (in infants with congenital UPJ obstruction)

When You Should Seek Treatment

Pyeloplasty is recommended when imaging confirms significant UPJ obstruction causing symptoms, recurrent infections, or declining kidney function. It is performed in both children (often congenital) and adults (often due to scarring or prior stones).

How the Treatment Works

  • Performed under general anesthesia using robotic or laparoscopic technique
  • The narrowed UPJ segment is removed
  • The ureter is reconnected to the kidney in a wider, unobstructed configuration
  • A temporary stent supports healing at the repair site
  • Surgery duration is typically 2-3 hours

Recovery & Hospital Stay

  • 2-3 days hospital stay
  • Stent usually removed 4-6 weeks after surgery
  • Most patients resume light activity within 2-3 weeks
  • Follow-up imaging confirms improved kidney drainage
  • Full recovery typically within 4-6 weeks
