Pyeloplasty

Pyeloplasty is a surgical procedure performed to remove a blockage or narrowing at the junction between the ureter (the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder) and the renal pelvis (the part of the kidney through which urine passes before it enters). ureter). This blockage or narrowing, called ureter-pelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, can cause urine retention in the kidney and, if left untreated, cause pain, infection, and possible kidney damage.
