Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is a minimally invasive reconstructive surgery used to treat narrowing or scarring where the ureter (the tube that drains urine from the kidney to the bladder) attaches to the kidney.

This operation corrects a condition called ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, which results in poor or sluggish drainage of urine from the kidney. UPJ obstruction can potentially cause:

• Abdominal and flank pain
• Kidney stones
• Urinary tract infections
• High blood pressure
• Reduced kidney function

Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic pyeloplasty offers several advantages:

• Significantly less post-operative pain
• Shorter hospital stay
• Faster return to work and daily activities
• Improved cosmetic results
• Outcomes identical to open surgery
