  • Antegrade endopyelotomy has emerged as a leading surgical technique for managing UPJ obstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and applicability of antegrade endopyelotomy for UPJ obstruction.
  • To define the success rates and patient selection criteria for this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • The study focuses on the application of antegrade endopyelotomy.
  • Patient selection criteria and contraindications were assessed.

Main Results:

  • Antegrade endopyelotomy demonstrates an overall success rate of 85% across a diverse patient population.
  • The procedure is effective in treating a broad spectrum of UPJ obstruction cases.

Conclusions:
