Paediatric Robotic Pyeloplasty

Paediatric Robotic Pyeloplasty Mukundapur Kolkata

Paediatric Robotic Pyeloplasty is a state-of-the-art, minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction in children. This condition occurs when the flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder is blocked, leading to kidney swelling (hydronephrosis) and potential long-term damage. Robotic-assisted surgery enhances precision, improves outcomes, and ensures faster recovery for young patients.

Manipal Hospitals offers advanced Paediatric Robotic Pyeloplasty in Mukundapur, Kolkata, combining cutting-edge technology with expert paediatric urological care to ensure the best outcomes for your child.

Why is Paediatric Robotic Pyeloplasty done?

This procedure is performed to:

  • Treat the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction causing impaired urine flow

  • Prevent kidney damage due to hydronephrosis

  • Relieve symptoms such as abdominal pain, urinary infections, or swelling

  • Improve and preserve long-term kidney function

  • Correct congenital abnormalities of the urinary tract

If UPJ obstruction is not treated in time, it can lead to progressive kidney damage, recurrent infections, worsening hydronephrosis, and reduced kidney function. Early surgical intervention helps prevent complications and supports healthy kidney development.

What happens before Paediatric Robotic Pyeloplasty?

Our paediatric urology team prepares your child for surgery through:

  • Detailed evaluation including ultrasound, diuretic renogram, and MRI

  • Assessment of kidney function and severity of obstruction

  • Review of medical history and symptoms

  • Pre-operative instructions regarding fasting and medications

  • Counselling and guidance for parents regarding the procedure and recovery

What happens during Paediatric Robotic Pyeloplasty?

Paediatric Robotic Pyeloplasty in Mukundapur, Kolkata, is performed under general anaesthesia in the following manner:

  • The procedure is carried out using a robotic surgical system

  • Small incisions are made to insert robotic instruments and a 3D camera

  • The surgeon controls the robotic arms for precise movement and repair

  • The narrowed segment of the ureter is removed

  • The healthy ureter is reattached to restore smooth urine flow

  • A temporary stent may be placed to aid healing

  • The procedure typically takes 2–4 hours, depending on complexity

What happens after Paediatric Robotic Pyeloplasty?

After surgery, the child is closely monitored and usually discharged within 1–2 days. Pain is minimal due to the minimally invasive approach. Most children resume light activities within 1–2 weeks, with full recovery over the next few weeks. Parents are advised to ensure proper hydration, administer prescribed medications, and attend follow-up visits for monitoring and stent removal. Regular follow-ups help ensure optimal kidney function and long-term success.

FAQ's

Yes, it is considered very safe. Our paediatric urologists are highly experienced in performing this delicate procedure on children of all ages, ensuring minimal risks and excellent outcomes.

Most children are discharged within 1-2 days. Full recovery, with a return to normal activities, usually takes 2-4 weeks, significantly faster than open surgery.

Often, a small stent is placed in the ureter to facilitate healing and will be removed during a follow-up visit, typically 2-6 weeks after surgery. A temporary bladder catheter might be used during hospitalisation.

The long-term outcomes are excellent, with high success rates in relieving obstruction and preserving kidney function. Regular follow-ups are important to monitor kidney health.

Robotic pyeloplasty involves very small incisions, resulting in minimal scarring. Over time, these scars become barely noticeable, making it a cosmetically favourable option compared to traditional open surgery.
