The evolution in the surgical correction of UPJ obstruction has occurred on a<br />

number of fronts, with open surgical techniques yielding way to endoscopic and<br />

1. Open surgical procedures.<br />

2. Endoscopic (antegrade or retrograde) procedures.<br />

3. Laparoscopic procedures.<br />

1. OPEN SURGICAL PROCEDURES:<br />

The open surgical techniques that have the greatest applicability can be<br />

classified into 3 main groups.<br />

a. The dismembered pyeloplasty<br />

b. Flap procedures<br />

c. The incisional - intubated type<br />

The Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty (1949) has become the most commonly<br />

employed ‘open’ surgical procedure for the repair of UPJ. Open pyeloplasty for<br />

correction of UPJO remains the gold standard against which all alternative therapies<br />

are compared. The overall success rates of open pyeloplasty range from 90-100% 28,29 .<br />

The technique of dismembering the ureter was borne out of necessity in the<br />

repair of retrocaval ureter (Anderson and Hynes, 1949). There was reluctance on the<br />

part of surgeons elsewhere because of concerns about severing the neural continuity
