About Pyeloplasty
The surgeon removes the narrowed section of the pelvi-ureteric junction and rejoins the healthy ureter to the kidney pelvis, or uses another reconstructive technique when the anatomy is unusual. It can be performed open, laparoscopically or with robotic assistance under general anaesthesia. A ureteric stent usually remains for four to six weeks to protect the join while it heals.
Most patients have good relief of pain and better drainage, with success rates well above those of endoscopic widening. Outcomes depend on kidney function before the operation, the cause of the blockage, whether a crossing blood vessel is involved and the surgeon's experience. A scan a few months later confirms that urine drains well.
Plan for around four days in hospital and several days nearby afterwards. The stent needs to be removed through a short cystoscopy after some weeks, so ask whether a urologist at home can do this. Bring your earlier scans, kidney function results and urine culture, and arrange follow-up imaging locally.
Usually a good fit if
- Symptomatic pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction with flank pain, stones or repeated infections.
- Reduced or falling kidney function on a renogram in the affected kidney.
- Progressive swelling of the kidney (hydronephrosis) on follow-up scans.
- A patient fit for general anaesthesia.
May need to wait if
- Active urinary infection should be treated first.
- A poorly functioning kidney may be better managed another way, as the specialist will explain.
- Mild, non-progressive swelling without symptoms may simply be observed.
- Uncontrolled medical conditions need optimisation.
How to prepare
- Bring your ultrasound, CT scan and renogram (MAG3 or DTPA) reports that show the obstruction and kidney function.
- Have a urine culture and treat any infection beforehand.
- Tell your doctor about blood thinners and other medicines; changes only on the doctor's instruction.
- Follow fasting instructions and plan an early stent-removal visit before travelling long distances.
- Arrange help at home for the first week and avoid heavy lifting for a few weeks.
Questions to ask your surgeon
- Do I definitely need surgery, and how do you know the blockage is causing my symptoms?
- Which approach do you recommend, laparoscopic, robotic or open?
- How many pyeloplasties do you do, and what is the success rate in your hands?
- Will a stent be placed, and how will it be removed?
- How soon will I feel better, and when will you test kidney drainage again?
- Who can repeat the renogram or ultrasound at home?
Red flags when comparing hospitals
- Surgery recommended without a renogram or clear evidence of obstruction.
- Endopyelotomy is offered as a first choice without discussing its lower success rates.
- Surgeon rarely performs reconstructive kidney surgery.
- No stent removal or follow-up scan plan.

How successful is pyeloplasty?
It is the standard operation and works well in most patients in experienced hands. Your surgeon can describe expected outcomes for your case.
Is the stent painful?
Stents can cause urgency, discomfort and blood in the urine. It is temporary and removed after a few weeks.

A few patients have re-narrowing and need further surgery. Follow-up scans help detect this early.
Can I have keyhole or robotic surgery?
Often yes. These have shorter stays and smaller scars, but experience matters more than the approach.
