Pyeloplasty Surgery in Kondapur, Hyderabad

Pyeloplasty is a surgical method for removing the blockage in the urinary tube called the ureter. The blockage may occur at the junction of the kidney and the urinary tube. The blockage may occur due to abnormality in the tube development or pressure from a vessel passing over the tube.

What Is Pyeloplasty?

Pyeloplasty is a surgery performed to remove a blockage in the urinary tube that prevents urine from reaching the urinary bladder.
The surgery can be done in three ways: Open surgery, laparoscopic surgery, or robotic surgery.

Open surgery: In this procedure, a small incision is made in the skin and the surgeon can see directly to remove the blockage. It may take longer to recover and the risk of infection is more.

Laparoscopic surgery: In this procedure, several small cuts are made in the abdomen to look inside through a camera, and surgery is done using sticks. It is less invasive than open surgery and helps in quick recovery.

Robotic surgery: In this type also, small cuts are made to see inside on a computer and does the surgery using robotic arms. It is the least invasive and helps in quick recovery.

When Is Pyeloplasty Needed?

A pyeloplasty is needed if the urine from the kidneys fails to reach the urinary bladder through the ureters. This reverses the flow of urine and impairs the function of the kidneys. This can cause pain and infection. Pyeloplasty helps to give relief from the symptoms and also prevents future complications.

In some children, a blockage may occur before birth and makes the area narrow. This prevents the proper flow of urine to pass through. In some children, there is no blockage at the ureteropelvic junction but the problem may occur at some other part of the ureter. For example, there is pressure on the ureter due to a vessel passing over it.

In rare cases, a blockage may occur due to tumours or polyps.
