Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
The renal pelvis obstruction is due to narrowing of the junction between renal pelvis and ureter...this narrowing cannot be treated by medicine... this narrowed junction needs to be excised surgically and a new wider junction is created by using a part of the renal pelvis wall...usually done in spinal anaestheia...
