Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty & Pyelolithotomy

Laparoscopic pyeloplasty and pyelolithotomy are minimally invasive surgical procedures used for selected conditions involving the kidney and renal pelvis. Pyeloplasty may be performed to address problems affecting the connection between the kidney and ureter, while pyelolithotomy may be used for the removal of selected kidney stones through a laparoscopic approach. 

Dr. Ankush Sharma provides evaluation and treatment guidance for patients with kidney or urinary-system-related concerns. The assessment may include understanding symptoms, previous medical history and relevant investigations. Imaging and other tests may be recommended to assess the condition and plan an appropriate procedure. 

Treatment planning depends on several factors, including: 

• Nature of the kidney or urinary condition  

• Location of the problem  

• Presence and characteristics of kidney stones  

• Urinary obstruction  

• Previous treatment history  

• Investigation findings  

• Overall health of the patient  

Depending on the individual case, laparoscopic pyeloplasty or pyelolithotomy may be considered when surgical management is required. 

When Should You Consult a Urologist? 

Seek medical consultation if you experience: 

• Persistent pain in the back or side  

• Recurrent kidney stones  

• Difficulty passing urine  

• Blood in the urine  

• Repeated urinary infections  

• Symptoms associated with urinary obstruction

Early evaluation can help identify the underlying condition and determine an appropriate treatment approach.
