Pediatric PUJ Obstruction (PUJO)
Home » Pediatric PUJ Obstruction (PUJO)
What is PUJ Obstruction (PUJO)?
PUJO refers to a blockage at the junction where the renal pelvis (part of the kidney that collects urine) meets the ureter (tube carrying urine to the bladder). This blockage leads to urine buildup in the kidney, causing swelling known as hydronephrosis. If left untreated, it may affect kidney function.
Causes of PUJO in Children
Congenital defect in the urinary tract (most common)
Crossing blood vessels compressing the junction
Scarring or narrowing from infection or previous surgery
Symptoms of PUJO
While some children show no symptoms and are diagnosed during routine antenatal scans, others may experience:
Abdominal pain, especially after drinking fluids
Nausea or vomiting
Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Blood in urine (hematuria)
Poor growth or weight gain
Lump or mass in the abdomen in severe cases
Diagnosis at Little Light Clinic
We use advanced imaging techniques such as:
Ultrasound of the kidneys
Diuretic renal scan (DTPA/EC scan) to assess drainage and kidney function
MRI Urography or CT Scan when needed
Treatment Options
The gold-standard treatment for PUJO is Pyeloplasty, a surgical procedure that involves:
Removal of the obstructed segment
Reconnection of the healthy ureter to the renal pelvis
Minimally invasive laparoscopic or open approach based on the child’s age and condition
Most children recover fully with restored kidney function and no long-term complications.
