Hydronephrosis Treatment (Pyeloplasty)
Both adults and children may require pyeloplasty. Approximately one in 1,500 newborns is born with a UPJ (ureteropelvic junction) obstruction, with twice as many males affected as females. In infants, if the condition does not show improvement within 18 months, it is probable that pyeloplasty will be necessary.
About Hydronephrosis Treatment (Pyeloplasty)
Both children and adults may require pyeloplasty. It’s worth noting that around one in 1,500 infants is born with a UPJ (ureteropelvic junction) obstruction, and this condition is twice as common in males as in females. In infants, if the condition does not improve within 18 months, pyeloplasty is often necessary.
Older children, teenagers, and adults can also develop UPJ obstructions, potentially requiring pyeloplasty if the kidney is obstructed. Normally, each kidney has a single ureter, which plays a crucial role in filtering waste and excess water from the blood to produce urine. This urine collects at the UPJ and then travels down the ureters to reach the bladder.
In cases of UPJ obstruction, the flow of urine can be significantly slowed or even completely blocked, increasing the risk of kidney damage. Typically, UPJ obstructions affect only one kidney.
Who requires this procedure?
Pyeloplasty is a surgery that is done to relieve a blockage in the ureteral pelvic junction (UPJ).
The UPJ is an area that connects the renal pelvis (part of the kidney) to the tube (ureter) that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder.
Pyeloplasty removes the tissue from the blocked area and connects the healthy part of the kidney to the healthy ureter. A tube, called a stent, may be placed into the ureter during surgery to drain urine from the ureter until your child heals.
Recovery process
Recovery duration varies, contingent on factors like patient characteristics, chosen procedure, and the extent of severity.
