Open Pyeloplasty, Ureter Reconstructed, Throbbing Pain In The Operated Area. Time Needed?
Question: Hi,I had open pyeloplasty 2 weeks ago.my urether was reconstructed.I was discharged after 2 days of surgery.I already had my follow up visit and given the go ahead by my urologist to resume normal activities.I was at work yesterday driving to and from work.Last night I experienced lots of pain at the operation site, a pressing down,throbbing pain,but im fine now.Is this because of the driving or do you think I needmore time to heal? Is this normal?
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query.
The pain you are experiencing at the incision site is probably due to the fact that you had surgery recently.
Pyeloplasty incision usually heals in 4-6 weeks and restricted activity should be done for first 3 months. However, you can certainly start your work.
Is your stent still in situ? It can also be the cause of pain.
If the pain is severe and affecting your work, report back to your doctor.
Hope my answer is adequate. I will be available for follow ups should you have any more concerns.
Sincerely

Dear XXXXXXX
Driving should not exacerbate your pain. You should limit your activities rather than restricting driving.
The pain was probably function of overactivity rather than driving. You should restart driving. However, if pain reappears then you should get back with ultrasound of the affected side.
Hope I have answered your query.
Wish you good health

Hi,
I really cannot pin point the cause of your pain. It is probably not related to your surgery.
If the XXXXXXX seated pain is disturbing your normal activities, you should surely get it evaluated and sometimes an Ultrasound abdomen and pelvis. You can then get back to me with the opinion of the Radiologist.
Thanks.
