Approach to Pyeloplasty Failure – Summary
Kirk D. Redger, MD, provides a comprehensive discussion on recurrent ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, emphasizing diagnostic approaches, treatment strategies, and the importance of tailored patient care.
In this 13-minute presentation, Redger highlights the importance of knowing a patient’s prior interventions when determining the next steps for treatment. Treatment plans are individualized, taking into account patient goals, age, comorbidities, and previous surgeries. Frail patients, those with active malignancies, or those with poor renal function may benefit from non-surgical management like stent placement. For surgical candidates, options range from endoscopic procedures and balloon dilation to complex reconstructive surgeries, such as robotic or open pyeloplasties.
