Pyeloplasty
Pyeloplasty Treatment

Treatment Range Hospital in Hyderabad provides expert surgical care for Pyeloplasty — a procedure performed to correct ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, which restricts the flow of urine from the kidney to the ureter. This condition can affect both children and adults, leading to symptoms like flank pain, recurrent urinary infections, and kidney swelling (hydronephrosis). Our urologists and pediatric surgeons specialize in both open and minimally invasive (laparoscopic) pyeloplasty procedures to ensure effective relief and long-term kidney function.
Before surgery, patients undergo detailed evaluation through renal scans, ultrasound, or CT urography to assess the severity of the obstruction. Pyeloplasty involves removing the blocked section of the ureter and reconnecting it to the kidney’s drainage system to restore normal urine flow. At Treatment Range Hospital, we prioritize precision, minimal recovery time, and complete patient safety during every step of the treatment process.
- Your 6 - Phase health Process
Your Complete Pyeloplasty Journey
🔵 Phase 1: Symptoms Identification
- Abdominal lump or mass
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Poor growth or feeding issues
- Reduced urine output
- Flank or side pain
- Recurrent kidney infections or stones
- Poor urine drainage from the kidney
- Blood in urine (hematuria)
🩺 Phase 2: OPD Consultation with Urologist or Pediatric Surgeon
- Review of symptoms and clinical history
- Urinalysis, blood tests for kidney function
- Imaging studies: Ultrasound , Diuretic Renal Scan (DTPA/MAG3) ,CT Urography or MRI Urography
- Discussion of surgical need if obstruction is confirmed
⚙️ Phase 3: Causes (Etiology)
- Congenital narrowing of the ureteropelvic junction
- Crossing blood vessel compressing the ureter
- Scar tissue from infection or previous surgery
- Kidney stones causing blockage
- Worsening hydronephrosis
🔍 Phase 4: Diagnosis & Surgical Planning
- Confirmation of obstruction via renal scan or CT
- Kidney function assessment (split renal function)
- Decision for pyeloplasty based on symptoms and renal output
- Open pyeloplasty
- Laparoscopic or robotic-assisted pyeloplasty
🔪 Phase 5: Treatment (Pyeloplasty Surgery)
- Removal of the narrowed/damaged section of the ureter
- Reconnection of the healthy ureter to the renal pelvis
- Placement of internal stent (DJ stent) to keep flow open during healing
- Done under general anesthesia
- Surgery duration: 2–3 hours
- Hospital stay: 2–5 days depending on age and recovery
💪 Phase 6: Post-Surgery Care & Recovery
- Wound care and hygiene for surgical site
- Pain management and antibiotics
- DJ stent removed after 2–4 weeks
- Follow-up renal scan to assess kidney drainage
- Avoid heavy activities until advised
- Full recovery in 4–6 weeks with restored urine flow and kidney function

- Frequently Asked Questions
Helping you understand Our healthcare
- Pyeloplasty is a surgical procedure to correct a blockage at the junction where the kidney meets the ureter (ureteropelvic junction).
- It restores normal urine flow from the kidney to the bladder.
Through imaging tests such as:
▪️ Ultrasound
▪️ Diuretic renal scan (MAG3/DTPA)
▪️ CT Urography or MRI
- Blood and urine tests may also be done to assess kidney function and infection.
- Open pyeloplasty – traditional surgical approach with an incision
- Laparoscopic or robotic-assisted pyeloplasty – minimally invasive options with faster recovery
- Mild discomfort or pain for a few days
- Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity for 4–6 weeks
- Follow-up includes stent removal and repeat scans to ensure proper drainage
In most cases, yes. Pyeloplasty has a high success rate (over 95%) in relieving obstruction and restoring kidney drainage.
