ureteropelvic junction.
What is robotic pyeloplasty?
Robotic pyeloplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is
used to correct narrowed or blocked
ureteropelvic junction (UPJ).
UPJ is a condition where a blockage forms at the point where the ureter
(a thin tube that carriers urine from kidney to bladder) attaches to the
kidney. UPJ can restrict the flow of urine into the bladder, causing excessive
pressure inside the kidney.
During a robotic pyeloplasty procedure, your surgeon will use precise robotic
surgical tools to fix the blockage. Compared to traditional surgery, robotic
surgery benefits include:
