Pyeloplasty
Pyeloplasty is an operation to correct a blockage that has occurred between the kidney and the ureter, which is the tube that drains the kidney into the bladder. By removing the blockage, urine will be able to drain freely from the kidney to the bladder. Source: http://www.Umm.Edu/robotics/pyeloplasty.Htm.
