Laparoscopic pyeloplasty
What is Laparoscopic pyeloplasty?
Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is a surgical treatment used to restore a kidney's obstructed or constricted ureteropelvic junction (UPJ). The UPJ is the area where the kidney pelvis (the central collecting part of the kidney) meets the ureter (the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder). When this junction becomes obstructed or narrowed, it can lead to a condition known as ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).
