Evaluation of the results of laser endopyelotomy with two different technique in ureteropelvic junction obstruction.

Introduction: Failed pyeloplasty procedures are caused by large amounts of scarring, and peripelvic fibrosis. This finding has been associated with urinary extravasations to the operation, urosepsis or an excessive tissue reaction. The treatment options for secondary UPJO (Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction) are the same with the options for primary procedures: in cases of very poor renal function, various pyeloplasty forms (open and laparoscopic), and ureterocalicostomy or sometimes nephrectomy may be considered in severe renal function loss.
