The popularity of minimally invasive surgical techniques, such as endopyelotomy, has increased markedly among urologists in recent years. Endopyelotomy has increasingly become well accepted as the optimal management for primary and secondary ureteropelvic junction obstruction. While it was initially thought that this procedure was best utilized in patients with secondary UPJ obstruction, recent evidence suggests that endopyelotomy should be considered in the majority of cases. This operation is done to open up a narrowing of the ureter. This is the tube that goes from patient’s kidney to patient’s bladder. A nephrostomy tube (a small drainage tube) is passed through an incision (cut) in patients back into patient’s kidney. A ureteric stent (small hollow, plastic tube) is then passed through the nephrostomy tube into the ureter. This stent makes sure that urine (pee) drains from the kidney to bladder. The nephrostomy tube may be removed after patient’s stent is in place. Patient’s stent will stay in place for a few weeks.
Two approaches are commonly used for Endopyelotomy; both these techniques are performed under general anesthesia. Patient will be required to stay in the hospital for 2 days following the Endopyelotomy procedure, Antegrade Endopyelotomy - In this procedure; the ureteropelvic junction of the kidney is approached from the side through the Nephrostomy tube. A blade is used to cut the UPJ and relieve the obstruction. The entire procedure takes about 2 - 3 hours. The nephrostomy tube is left in after Endopyelotomy. Retrograde Endopyelotomy - This procedure is performed by approaching the UPJ via the urethra. The Retrograde Endopyelotomy instrument contains a balloon that dilates and at the same time cuts to relieve the obstructed UPJ. This technique of Endopyelotomy is performed under general, regional or intravenous sedation.
Endopyelotomy is a safe and effective treatment for most cases of ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Ultrasonography of the obstructed ureteropelvic junction has gained a major role in defining which patient to treat and in directing endoluminal incisions to minimize the risk of injury to adjacent vessels. The entire procedure of Retrograde Endopyelotomy takes about 2 hours. Endopyelotomy almost has a success rate of 82 - 86%, there is reduced hospital stay (one day in younger, healthy patients), faster healing and quicker return to normal activity and work.
