Abstract
The principles of treatment for ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction have not changed despite the introduction of minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy and robot-assisted surgery. Although several techniques have been described for operative reconstruction of an obstructed UPJ, a dismembered pyeloplasty has proven to be most versatile. Alternative primary and salvage techniques for operative reconstruction of the UPJ are also described.
