What is Pelvic Ureteric Junction (PUJ) Obstruction? Causes & Treatment Explained | Dr. Rasik Shah

Pelvic Ureteric Junction (PUJ) Obstruction, also known as Uteropelvic Junction Obstruction (UPJ Obstruction), is a congenital condition where the tube (ureter) that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder becomes blocked. This condition is most common in children and can lead to kidney damage if not treated properly. In this video, Dr. Rasik Shah, Senior Consultant Pediatric General and Laparoscopic Surgeon at NH SRCC Children's Hospital, Mumbai, explains the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for PUJ Obstruction. He highlights that a simple ultrasound scan is typically sufficient to diagnose this condition in children. Fortunately, surgical intervention, often done through minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques, can effectively correct the obstruction and restore normal kidney function. Key points covered: Causes: PUJ Obstruction is usually congenital, meaning it is present from birth and often goes undiagnosed until symptoms appear. Symptoms: The most common signs include abdominal pain, swelling, and urinary tract infections. Treatment: A simple surgical procedure can relieve the blockage and ensure normal urine flow, with laparoscopic surgery offering quicker recovery and fewer complications. If your child is diagnosed with PUJ Obstruction, early intervention is crucial to prevent complications like kidney damage. Dr. Shah explains why timely diagnosis and treatment are vital for long-term health.
