Balloon kidney dilation

Balloon kidney dilation is a medical procedure used to treat blockages in the urinary system, particularly in the kidneys or ureters. During the procedure, a thin tube with a deflated balloon at its tip is inserted into the blockage area. Once positioned correctly, the balloon is inflated, gently widening the narrowed passage. This helps to restore normal urine flow and alleviate symptoms like pain or infection. The procedure is minimally invasive and usually performed under local anesthesia, helping patients recover faster and avoid more extensive surgeries.
