Reconstructive Kidney Surgery
Highly specialized surgical procedures to repair, reconstruct, and restore normal anatomy and function of the kidneys and ureters.
Reconstructive Urology involves highly specialized surgical procedures designed to restore both the structure and function of the genitourinary tract.
Kidney and ureteral reconstruction is often required due to congenital defects, traumatic injuries, surgical complications, or severe scarring from recurrent infections or stones.
Dr. Chugh utilizes both traditional and minimally invasive robotic techniques to perform intricate reconstructions, preventing kidney loss and restoring normal urinary flow.
Quick Summary
Expertise in Pyeloplasty, Ureteric Reimplantation, and complex anatomical repairs to restore kidney health and urinary function.
Common Symptoms
Recurrent Kidney Infections
Severe Flank Pain (due to obstruction)
Decreased Kidney Function
What Causes This Condition?
Congenital Defects
Conditions like PUJ obstruction present from birth.
Trauma or Injury
Damage to the ureter from accidents or previous surgeries.
Strictures
Scar tissue blocking the normal flow of urine.
Treatment Options
Advanced, customized solutions for optimal recovery.
Pyeloplasty for PUJO
Surgical reconstruction of the renal pelvis to drain and decompress the kidney, treating Pelvi-Ureteric Junction Obstruction.
Kidney Cyst Decortication
Surgical removal of the outer layer of large, painful kidney cysts.
Ureterocalicostomy
A complex salvage procedure bypassing the renal pelvis and attaching the ureter directly to the lower kidney calyx.
Ureteroureterostomy
Surgical excision of a narrowed or damaged section of the ureter and rejoining the healthy ends.
Ureteric Reimplantation
Reconnecting the ureter to a new, healthy location on the bladder.
Nephropexy
Surgical fixation of a 'floating' or hypermobile kidney that causes pain.
Your Treatment Journey
Anatomical Mapping
Detailed imaging to understand the specific structural defect.
Surgical Reconstruction
Meticulous repair using robotic or laparoscopic instruments.
Stenting
A temporary stent is often placed to support the new surgical connections during healing.
Follow-up Imaging
Post-operative scans to confirm normal urinary flow.
