Understanding Pelvi-Ureteric Junction (PUJ) Obstruction
Pelvi-Ureteric Junction (PUJ) obstruction is a blockage where the kidney meets the ureter, restricting the normal flow of urine.
The obstruction can lead to urine buildup, kidney swelling, recurrent infections, and progressive loss of kidney function if not treated promptly.
Introduction
PUJ obstruction occurs when urine cannot flow properly from the kidney into the ureter due to narrowing or blockage at the junction point. Early diagnosis helps preserve kidney function.
Common Symptoms
- Flank pain
- Recurrent UTIs
- Kidney swelling
- Nausea/vomiting
- Reduced kidney function
Treatment Options
- Observation (mild cases)
- Pyeloplasty (surgical correction)
- Stenting
- Laparoscopic/robotic surgery
- Infection control
Recovery & Outlook
Surgical correction of PUJ obstruction has high success rates and helps restore urine flow. Early intervention is important to preserve long-term kidney function.
