Dr. Puskar Shyam Chowdhury Successfully Treats Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction in Young Adult

Ureteropelvic Junction (UPJ) Obstruction is a condition where the junction between the kidney and ureter becomes blocked, preventing the normal flow of urine. If untreated, it can cause recurrent urinary tract infections, kidney pain, and long-term damage to kidney function.

Recently, a 22-year-old male patient presented with persistent flank pain and repeated urinary tract infections. After a thorough evaluation, he was diagnosed with UPJ obstruction.

Advanced Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty: The Gold-Standard Treatment

Under the expert care of Dr. Puskar Shyam Chowdhury, the patient underwent a minimally invasive laparoscopic pyeloplasty. This advanced procedure is considered the gold standard for UPJ obstruction, offering patients precise correction of the blockage with minimal trauma.

The surgery was performed successfully with:

  • Minimal blood loss

  • Short hospital stay

  • Quicker recovery time

Excellent Post-Operative Results

Post-operative imaging confirmed complete relief of the obstruction and restoration of normal kidney function. The patient experienced significant improvement, free from pain and recurrent infections.

Importance of Early Diagnosis

Dr. Chowdhury highlighted that timely detection and the use of advanced laparoscopic techniques are vital for preserving kidney function in the long term. With minimally invasive surgery, young patients can return to their normal lives quickly and avoid irreversible kidney damage.
