Guidelines for the management of pyeloplasty failure remain elusive given the rarity of this condition and the difficulty of integrating and analyzing reported outcomes given the varying definition of failures. In this article, we aim to review the existing literature on risk factors that may influence the surgical outcomes of reconstructive pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Furthermore, we discuss management options and review success outcomes of treatment options for patients with pyeloplasty failure.
