Restore Kidney Drainage With High-Success Repair

UPJ (ureteropelvic junction) obstruction narrows the kidney’s outlet, causing urine backup (hydronephrosis), pain, infections, or decline in function. Pyeloplasty reconstructs this junction to restore smooth drainage. Today, it’s usually done via laparoscopy or robotics—tiny cuts, less pain, faster recovery.

Symptoms & tests: Flank pain (often after heavy fluid intake), recurrent infections, or ultrasound showing swelling. A diuretic renogram confirms functional obstruction. During surgery, the scarred segment is removed and the ureter is re-fashioned and re-attached (Anderson-Hynes repair). A temporary DJ stent supports healing.

With 14+ years’ surgical experience and MCh (Urology) from AIIMS New Delhi, Dr Lok focuses on precise reconstruction and durable outcomes. Adults and children benefit, but timing is individualized after reviewing kidney function and drainage curves.

Recovery: Most patients go home in 24–48 hours, resume desk work in a week, and return to full activity gradually. Stent removal is typically done at 4–6 weeks. Follow-up scans confirm lasting relief.
