Retrograde ureteroscopy offers a new approach to ureteropelvic junction obstruction, avoiding complications like strictures and bleeding. This minimally invasive technique eliminates the need for nephrostomy tubes, reducing patient recovery time.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction is a common condition requiring surgical intervention.
  • Antegrade percutaneous endopyelotomy is the traditional first-line treatment.
  • Technological advancements enable alternative surgical approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a retrograde ureteroscopic approach for UPJ obstruction.
  • To explore the combined use of small ureteroscopes and endoluminal ultrasound for UPJ obstruction treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized small ureteroscopes and endoluminal ultrasound technology.
  • Performed a retrograde ureteroscopic approach for UPJ obstruction.
  • Focused on a single-setting treatment protocol.

Main Results:

  • Successfully treated UPJ obstruction via a retrograde ureteroscopic approach.
  • Avoided complications such as ureteral strictures and significant postoperative hemorrhage.
  • Eliminated the need for postoperative nephrostomy tubes.

Conclusions:

  • Retrograde ureteroscopy with advanced technology provides a successful alternative for UPJ obstruction.
  • This approach significantly reduces procedure-related morbidity and complications.
  • It offers a less invasive option compared to traditional methods.
