Article Synopsis
  • Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a common issue in pediatric urology, and while treatment guidelines are clear, the best approach for children with poorly functioning kidneys remains debated.
  • This study involved a retrospective evaluation of 21 children with significant UPJO (DRF ≤20%) who underwent open dismembered pyeloplasty, revealing promising outcomes after surgery with improved kidney function in many cases.
  • Follow-up results showed a notable improvement in renal health indicators, with no complications or need for reintervention in the patients studied, indicating that pyeloplasty can be effective even in those with lower kidney function.
