Robotic Pyeloplasty
Introduction
Robotic Pyeloplasty is performed to treat ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, a narrowing between the kidney and ureter that blocks normal urine flow.
Robotic assistance enables highly delicate suturing and precise reconstruction, restoring normal drainage while minimizing tissue trauma.
Key Benefits
- Very high success rate (95–98%)
- Minimal scarring
- Low risk of recurrence
