Pieloplastia
Una pieloplastia es un procedimiento para eliminar un bloqueo en los uréteres, que son los tubos que transportan la orina desde el riñón a la vejiga. Los bloqueos pueden desarrollarse en el uréter, aunque en la mayoría de los casos estos bloqueos están presentes en el momento del nacimiento. Una pieloplastia se realiza bajo anestesia general, y generalmente a través de cirugía abierta, o con cirugía laparoscópica y se elimina el bloqueo.
