Pyeloplasty

Pyeloplasty: общие сведения

Pyeloplasty in India is reconstructive urological surgery used to treat obstruction at the junction between the kidney pelvis and ureter, known as ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction. The aim is to restore urine drainage from the kidney while preserving kidney function. Surgery may be considered when obstruction causes pain, recurrent infection, stones, progressive hydronephrosis or impaired renal function.

Before treatment, patients usually undergo a urology assessment with ultrasound and functional kidney testing, often including a diuretic renal scan to measure drainage and split renal function. CT or MR urography may be added to define anatomy or look for crossing blood vessels. The surgeon also reviews previous stents, nephrostomy tubes, infections and any earlier UPJ surgery.

Pyeloplasty may be performed using robotic-assisted, laparoscopic or open surgery, depending on age, anatomy, previous procedures and surgeon expertise. The narrowed segment is removed or revised and the healthy ureter is reconnected to the renal pelvis. A temporary ureteral stent is commonly placed and removed later.

The cost of pyeloplasty in India depends on surgical approach, hospital, surgeon, imaging, stent management, length of stay and whether the case is primary or revision surgery.

India offers access to urologists, reconstructive and robotic urology teams at tertiary hospitals with advanced imaging and endourology support.
