Pyeloplasty is a type of surgical procedure performed to treat an uretero-pelvic junction obstruction if residual renal function is adequate. [1]This revision of the renal pelvis treats the obstruction by excising the stenotic area of the renal pelvis or uretero-pelvic junction and creating a more capacious conduit using the tissue of the remaining ureter and renal pelvis.
In addition to his work on urinary catheters, Foley also described a novel technique for treating strictures of the pelvi-ureteric junction which is known as the Foley Operation or the Foley Y-plasty pyeloplasty. [5] He also invented a hydraulic operating table [6] and a rotatable resectoscope, [7] and described the first artificial urethral ...

In 2005, a surgical technique was documented in canine and cadaveric models called the transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for the da Vinci robot surgical system as it was the only FDA-approved robot to perform head and neck surgery. [29] [30] In 2006, three patients underwent resection of the tongue using this technique. [30]
The technique of IVP was originally developed by Leonard Rowntree of the Mayo Clinic in the 1920s. [16] IVP was previously the test of choice for diagnosing ureter obstruction secondary to urolithiasis but in the late 1990s non-contrast computerized tomography of the abdomen and pelvis replaced it because of its increased specificity regarding ...
Minimal invasive treatment: Overtoom procedure: [4] dilatation with cutting balloon catheter followed by introduction of the pyeloplasty balloon catheter. [5] This balloon is inflated with pure contrast agent via the pusher and remains in situ in the ureter to keep the previous treated stricture dilated while the expanded urothelium heals ...
