What is a PUJ Obstruction?

Pelvi-ureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction is a blockage or narrowing where the kidney's collecting area (renal pelvis) meets the tube that drains urine to the bladder (ureter). This slows urine flow, causing the kidney to swell with fluid, which can lead to pain, infections, or kidney damage.

Mr Abhishek Reekhaye is a Consultant Urological and Robotic Surgeon specialising in kidney and upper urinary tract cancer, with a particular focus on advanced minimally-invasive and robotic surgery. He is currently a substantive Consultant at the Frimley Renal Cancer Centre, one of the highest-volume kidney cancer centres in the UK, recognised for excellent outcomes and among the shortest lengths of stay for robotic kidney surgery nationally. He graduated from Newcastle University and completed his higher surgical training in South London, where he was ranked second nationally at ST3 selection. He was awarded an MCh in Minimally Invasive Surgery (Urology) with distinction, reflecting a strong academic and technical foundation in laparoscopic and robotic techniques. Following completion of his specialist training, he undertook two highly competitive post-CCT fellowships in renal cancer surgery.
