Robotic Ureteral Reconstruction and Pyeloplasty: Restoring Upper Urinary Tract Flow for UPJ Obstruction
The ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) is the critical anatomic conduit where the funnel of the renal pelvis tapers into the proximal ureter. When this junction narrows or becomes mechanically obstructed, the normal propulsion of urine from the renal pelvis down to the bladder is blocked. This obstruction elevates retro-renal pressure, leading to progressive hydronephrosis (dilation of […]
