N2 - Ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) is a common cause of upper urinary tract obstruction that can be clinically silent or lead to symptoms such as pain, chronic urinary tract infections, and urinary stone disease. UPJO does not always mandate treatment, but when an indication for correction is present, there are several minimally invasive surgical options available. Surgical reconstruction represents the gold-standard treatment for UPJO, although endoscopic pyelotomy is a well established and efficacious alternative.
