Depending on different reasons, babies with separated renal pelvis can choose to continue observation, expel the stone and have surgery.
1. Continue observation: The separation of the renal pelvis may be physiological, for example, holding a lot of urine during the examination, which may lead to the separation of the renal pelvis, and can be rechecked again without holding a lot of urine. If the separation of the renal pelvis disappears, there is no need to worry too much, just continue to observe and follow up regularly.
2. Stone expulsion: If the separation of renal pelvis is caused by urinary stones, the stones should be expelled, and the specific way of stone expulsion should be based on the location, size, number and nature of the stones.
3. Surgery: Separation of the renal pelvis in babies may also be caused by congenital malformations, such as ureteral stenosis, etc. Surgery may be needed in this case.
There are many reasons for the separation of the renal pelvis in babies, and the treatment plan is completely different for different reasons. If the renal pelvis is separated in babies, it is recommended to further actively diagnose and treat the cause.
