What is Ureteropelvic Junction (UPJ) Obstruction?
UPJ obstruction is a blockage of the flow of urine from the renal pelvis (kidney funnel) into the ureter (the tube that carries urine to the bladder). This leads to urine pooling, kidney swelling (Hydronephrosis), and progressive decline in kidney function if left uncorrected.
Key Benefits of Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty
At Vashu Hospital, Dr. Amrit Verman performs Anderson-Hynes Dismembered Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty using 3 to 4 tiny keyhole ports (5mm):
- Preservation of Kidney Function: Restores free, unobstructed urinary drainage permanently.
- Minimal Scarring: Replaces the traditional large 15cm flank incision with tiny pinhole punctures.
- Fast Recovery: Discharged within 48 hours with minimal post-op pain and quick return to school or work.
