Conclusion
The objective of pyeloplasty is to achieve a dependent, adequate calibrated watertight pelvi-ureteric junction. There are different techniques available to repair a PUJ obstruction. The dismembered Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty is suitable for the majority of patients with PUJ obstruction. Use of double-J ureteral stents has virtually eliminated ureteral leaks and early obstructions.
