Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pyeloplasty is surgery to correct a condition called ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction. “Pyelo” refers to the kidney (renal pelvis). “Plasty” is the term for a surgical procedure that repairs, restores or replaces something.

Detailed explanation-2: -Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is a way to perform reconstructive surgery of a narrowing or scarring where the ureter (the tube that drains urine from the kidney to the bladder) attaches to the kidney through a minimally invasive procedure.

Detailed explanation-3: -Pyeloplasty is the surgical reconstruction of the renal pelvis in order to drain and decompress the kidney. In nearly all cases, the goal of the pyeloplasty surgery will be to relieve a UPJ (uretero-‐pelvic junction) obstruction.

Detailed explanation-4: -A partial nephrectomy is a surgery that fixes a kidney condition. The two types include an open partial nephrectomy and a robotic partial nephrectomy. A urologist will correct the condition and remove part of your kidney. They’ll also reconstruct your kidney.
