Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Endourology

Context:

  • Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction is a common cause of upper urinary tract obstruction.
  • Traditional treatments often involve open surgery with significant morbidity.
  • Endoscopic techniques offer a less invasive alternative.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of antegrade endopyelotomy for UPJ obstruction.
  • To compare outcomes with existing literature data.
  • To determine the long-term suitability of antegrade endopyelotomy.

Summary:

  • A series of 16 patients with UPJ obstruction underwent antegrade endopyelotomy.
  • The overall success rate was 81.3%, with one case requiring conversion to open pyeloplasty.

  • Two instances of restenosis occurred within three months post-procedure.

    • Impact:

    • Antegrade endopyelotomy is a safe and effective treatment option for primary and secondary UPJ strictures.
    • This approach offers a successful minimally invasive alternative to open surgery.
    • Long-term follow-up supports its role as a primary treatment modality.
