Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty: Keyhole Solution for UPJ Obstruction & Hydronephrosis

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
