The treatment of right hydronephrosis mainly consists of etiologic treatment, symptomatic treatment and resection of the affected kidney as appropriate.
1. Etiologic treatment: the obstruction should be removed as soon as possible, and the method of removal mainly depends on the cause of the obstruction. For example, if the obstruction is caused by urinary stones, extracorporeal lithotripsy or endoscopic lithotripsy can be performed; if the obstruction is caused by congenital pyeloureteral stenosis, dissecting and molding can be performed.
2. Symptomatic treatment: It is mainly applicable to those who can not remove the cause of obstruction or undergo larger surgical treatment. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy can be performed to drain the urine to improve the symptoms.
3. Surgical treatment: it is suitable for those who have severe hydronephrosis on the affected side of the kidney, serious destruction and atrophy of renal parenchyma, and normal function of the opposite side of the kidney. It is feasible to perform nephrectomy on the affected side.
It is recommended to consult a doctor in time for diagnosis and treatment.
