Ureteropyeloreimplantation

Ureteropyelo-reimplantation (UPRI) is a surgical procedure that replaces or restores the urinary tract. UPRI can be performed for both congenital and acquired diseases of the urinary tract, such as urolithiasis, strictures (narrowing) of the ureter, tumors, etc.

UPRI is performed under general anesthesia and includes several stages:

1. Preparation for surgery: Before surgery, the patient undergoes an examination to ensure that there are no contraindications to surgery.
2. Access to the urinary tract: Access to the urinary tract can be obtained through an incision in the lumbar region or through laparoscopic openings in the abdominal cavity.
3. Removal of old urinary tracts: If necessary, the old urinary tracts are removed and replaced with new ones.
4. Installation of new urinary tracts: new urinary tracts are installed in place of the old ones and secured with the help of special implants.
5. Completion of surgery: Once surgery is completed, the wound is sutured and the patient is transferred to the intensive care unit for observation.

After the operation, the patient is monitored by medical staff for several days to ensure that everything was successful. Depending on the severity of the disease and the individual characteristics of the patient, the recovery period can take from several weeks to several months.

Benefits of UPRI include restoration of normal urine flow, improved quality of life, and reduced risk of complications. However, like any other surgical procedure, UPRI has its risks and can lead to complications such as bleeding, infection, damage to neighboring organs, etc. Therefore, before the operation, it is necessary to carefully assess the patient's condition and conduct appropriate examination.
