Types of Pyeloplasty Surgery
Different surgical approaches are available. Depending on the patient’s condition, doctors may choose:
- Open Pyeloplasty – Traditional approach through a small incision
- Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty – Minimally invasive with faster recovery
- Robotic-Assisted Pyeloplasty – Higher precision with less trauma
Surgical Steps of Pyeloplasty
Pyeloplasty surgery in Jaipur follows a structured process. Typically, it includes:
- Doctors administer general anesthesia for a painless procedure
- The patient is positioned to allow better kidney access
- Surgeons create small incisions and insert laparoscopic instruments
- A camera helps visualize the kidney and blockage
- Surgeons identify and isolate the obstructed segment
- The blocked portion is removed carefully
- Healthy ends are reconnected to restore urine flow
- A temporary stent is placed to support healing
- Surgeons close the incisions with minimal sutures
- Most patients are discharged within 2–3 days, while stent removal occurs after 3–6 weeks

Frequently asked questions
Is pyeloplasty needed for every swollen kidney?
No. Many mild cases in babies improve on their own and are watched with scans. Surgery is advised when drainage is poor, function is falling, or there are symptoms.
Will a stent be placed?
Usually a temporary DJ stent is left for a few weeks and removed in a short procedure.
