Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty

Definition

Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to correct a blockage or narrowing at the junction where the kidney meets the ureter, known as the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction. This procedure involves the use of a laparoscope, which is a thin tube with a camera and light, to visualize and repair the affected area.
