    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pyeloplasty can lead to obstructive jaundice and renal pseudocysts. Proper retroperitoneal drainage is crucial to prevent these complications after the surgical procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Pyeloplasty is a common surgical procedure for ureteral obstruction.
    • Renal pseudocysts are rare but serious post-operative complications.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of obstructive jaundice and renal pseudocyst formation post-pyeloplasty were identified.
    • Both patients underwent right-sided pyeloplasty.

    Findings:

    • Obstructive jaundice developed in conjunction with renal pseudocyst formation.
    • Inadequate retroperitoneal drainage was implicated as a contributing factor.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the risk of renal pseudocyst and jaundice after pyeloplasty.
    • Stresses the importance of meticulous retroperitoneal fluid management during pyeloplasty.
