Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty

Overview: Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to correct ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction. This condition occurs when the connection between the kidney and the ureter becomes blocked, leading to symptoms such as severe flank pain, recurrent kidney infections, and potential loss of kidney function.

Procedure: Dr. Gulati performs laparoscopic pyeloplasty using small incisions and specialized instruments to access the affected area. The obstructed segment of the ureter is removed, and the healthy ends are reconnected, allowing for normal urine flow from the kidney to the bladder. This technique significantly reduces recovery time, pain, and scarring compared to traditional open surgery.

Benefits:

• Minimally invasive: Smaller incisions and less tissue damage.
• Faster recovery: Patients typically return to normal activities within a few weeks.
• Effective results: Restores normal kidney function and relieves symptoms.
