Saige’s Story: Undergoing Robotic Surgery to Treat Her Blocked Kidney
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- Saige was born with congenital ureteropelvic junction obstruction (hydronephrosis / UPJ obstruction), which is a congenital blockage and swelling of a kidney due to a build-up of urine. It happens when urine cannot drain from the kidney into the bladder due to a blockage. After drinking a large amount of water on a hot 4th of July in 2016, Saige experienced incredible pain in her flank area. Thanks to Dr. Chester Koh and the Texas Children’s Hospital Pediatric Robotic Surgery Program, the blockage was eliminated, and Saige only experienced minimal scarring and a quicker recovery than with open surgery. She has returned to her happy, healthy life as a sophomore and cheerleader in Conroe ISD. To learn more about robotic surgery, please visit texaschildrens.org/urology.
I as well had a kink in my ureter that started to bother me at 25, I had a backed up left kidney many times before they figured out what it was. I had open surgery for it where they took the piece out and reattached it. I am now 44 and have not had a problem since. I'm am forever greatfull for my surgeon🙏
Such good news! Where did you have the procedure done? I'm here in Phoenix. Recently diagnosed with hydronephrosis at nearly 50 yrs old.
I have just been diagnosed with the exact same thing, the king is stopping the drainage. I’m waiting now for an appointment for my op. Apparently I’m having the robotic procedure. I’m 62 so hoping after this I’ll have no more problems in the future 🤞🤞
I have the same thing in my left kidney. I’m getting robotic Pyleoplasty surgery to repair the blockage in my kidney, and will also be in the hospital for 2-4 days due to other health issues myself, so I know about this. I’m getting my surgery in 2 weeks and this is awesome! I’m so glad she’s feeling better now! Congrats on your full Recovery Paige!!
Im getting my next month and I'm scared
@@thatonebitch626 don’t be scared! You’ll be asleep the entire time:) and if you have to stay in the hospital. The 1st day just sleep or rest and watch movies. And I don’t want to speak on the diet portion.
@@FirePhotoJess were u in alot of pain
@@thatonebitch626 yes! The first 3 days were rough. But then I started taking all my meds. And I was fine and I’m feeling amazing now!
@@FirePhotoJess dose the side pains u get go away after the surgery
Had this same thing done when I was about 16 on my right kidney also. Kidney pain is the worst. Thankful for this definitely helped me as well.
I definitely can relate 😌... I'm going through this since 15 years now..... It's getting me scared everytime.... I only underwent a surgery fir kidney stones- left kidney that was the PCNL surgery... Rn I still have my left kidney giving me death pains every time
I have the same exact thing and had the same exact surgery. Had tons of nephrostomy tube placements over the years since the age of 14 until 28. The only difference is it's on my left side. Glad she's doing well..
Same here🥺but i haven't under gone any surgery for it yet, it just keeps catching infection time and again... I had 3 kidney stones size -16mm , 12mm and 9mm (that time i had a surgery called PCNL - and it went great, but no one can figure out if I had the swelling (dr says it's a blockage) since birth, or after that or if it's because of the stones... The pain gets unbearable for me, eventually I get high fever around 104 ° and above it, I feel giddy and vomitty because my pressure just keeps going high and low.. I'm just scared of my life because everytime I feel I'm okay now the pain kicks in so fast, always at night or early morning 😌..... I'm stressed
I got right kidney open pyeloplasty surgery at 16 and surgery is no efficient again installed long dj stent 1 year it give some relief my age is now 18 I hope god that no one should suffer with this problem
Bro how is you condition right now. I have been through the same procedure.
I had this surgery 3 weeks ago, I went 29 years not knowing I had it then an Ultrasound and CT scan revealed it. I had a couple small complications after surgery but was eligible to return to work 2 to 4 weeks afterwards. I took 4 weeks out of an abundance of caution but could have been back after 2. The surgery went very well and the pain was managed effectively with meds.
Did you have any symptoms during the 29 years of not knowing though?
@@Vanillawaffer07 looking back I did. I would have sharp pain in my lower back. Another symptom I ignored was my ability to retain a lot of fluid. I could drink a litre of water a feel not the slightest urge to urinate. Stuff I thought was minor but were signs of UPJO
@@DerekRayfuse1 Wow so your creatine didn’t get out of wack or anything? . Did you tell your doctor about it and they sent you somewhere to get it corrected or what?
@@Vanillawaffer07 for me they found the UJP obstruction when they were checking me for fatty liver which I have a family history of. The kidney showed up in the background of the ultrasound and I was immediately referred to a urologist. My first test the Renalgram came back clean but the CT scan revealed my left kidney would take 1-2 hours longer to drain than my right kidney. I was booked for surgery 3 weeks after that test.
@@DerekRayfuse1 Wow interesting. Thanks so much for sharing . I really appreciate it :)
Thank you!!!!
I have the exact same thing
Justin Bieber Edits/BieberX I do too how have things worked out? I haven't done the surgery yet
Everything worked out fine I'm much better now
Great Video! Forgive me for butting in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you thought about - Trentvorty Perfection Kidney Theorem (google it)? It is a good one of a kind guide for improving kidney function without the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my old buddy Taylor at very last got excellent success with it.
elise how many days it took
U to
Heal
Thank you for your testimony
I had an unknown case of hydronephrosis for 13 years, my kidney had swelled up to 2 times the size. I skipped school for one day because I felt a tension in my left side. The next day, I was home alone. All of a sudden this pain started, it kept getting worse until I had to crawl on the ground to move. Even if it's not a well known problem, it doesn't mean it's weak
George one of my kidneys is swollen too and it has and obstruction. I found out when I went to the ER for severe stomach and side pain and they did a CT scan with contrast and they recommended that I see a urologist. My urologist wants to put a stent. I am so scared. The side effects of stents are fever, chills, nausea, blood in urine, infections, the risk of dislodging and puncturing other organs and other side effects, which sadly I had to look up and google and watch RUclips videos and find out myself. My doctor never even cared to tell me any of this. I have already been through six major surgeries and I am not ready to go through this pain. How are you dealing with the swelling in your kidney?
Also I have zero tolerance for pain and I would need anesthesia to put it and anesthesia to take it out
How are you now?
How you doing now?
My exact position rn. I think I might loose this kidney.
I have the exact same thing and no one will take me to the hospital
mommy loves you Saige
Apparently my kidney has been blocked for almost a decade and i just got the surgery to fix it. It hurts bad.
hows the condition now? do you feel any surgery pain or any other side effect
@icu WatchN how did it turn out for you because i’m about to have this happen and i’m curious. hope u can reply back thanks
@@Leejo30 same
@@Leejo30 What happened with you? Did you have issues prior because of it? What were your symptoms?
@@Vanillawaffer07 i had pain in my right side so i had to go through a scan and they said i had to have surgery so i had surgery and they placed a stent in me and removed it in a month and i’m doing perfectly fine now all thanks to God and the doctors
I'm 15 now and I know I had hydronphrosis since I was born
What happened?
how did you get help so fast. i have waited for months and have been told no twice.
It's probably because she has good health insurance.
Do you have pain? If you do not experience symptoms doctors generally leave you as you are and monitor for changes.
My kidney is the size of a football A FRIGGIN FOOTBALL
mine legit looked like micky mouse, no joke.
Madison A one of my kidneys is swollen and has an obstruction. My urologist is recommending to put a stent but I am afraid of the side effects like fever, chills, nausea, unable to eat, sit, sleep, infections, risk of dislodging and puncturing other organs and other side effects. I have had six surgeries in my life and I don’t want to go through this hell. I would anesthesia to put it and anesthesia to take it out
@@pallavisreetambraparni6995 did you go ahead with the stent?
@@pallavisreetambraparni6995 i have stent in uretet so maybe sometimes you will have discomfort but everything is good, i changed 3 times every 3 to 5 months so i have stent in my right kidney 1year so no problem for me soon im going to surgery
@@Fabzie How is the removal of the stent? I need a stent too but im really scared😅
I had a UPJ obstruction in my kidney and I had this same laparoscopic surgery for it when I was 7
Hey Ash, how much time it took for you to feel completely normal?
rakeshgoldify I just got mine 2 days ago
@@nyc4410 how it went, how are you feeling now, it was very painful for me
rakeshgoldify I’m actually ok just some pain and a few minor complications but I’m
Still fresh out of surgery so
I’ll get better ...wbu? How was ya first few days after surgery
@@nyc4410 I had open pyeloplasty, I was in hospital for 7 days, it was really very very painful, I still have pain, can't do heavy work, just walking is allowed
My baby has this problem:( idk if I should worry!!!! Does it fix by it's self?!?? Anyone
No it doesn't however some people go there whole life without issues. I'm 36 and have had this condition all my life also but was totally unaware of it until March of last year. I have had problems with abdomen pain most of my adult life. My pain has been always at it's worse when I was having my period so I just ignored it really. Since 2015 I've have episodes of horrendous pain. Last year it got so bad my partner called an ambulance and I went to hospital. I had an ultrasound and my kidney condition was diagnosed.
Since then I've had a CT scan with contrast and a renogram to determine how bad my kidney is functioning. My right kidney is functioning at 16%, my left kidney is normal. I'm currently on the waiting list to have my right kidney removed.
I would suggest to find a good urologist to monitor your baby.
Hope all goes well and he/she doesn't experience any problems.
it's Mommy Saige mommy loves you
Im 11 and I also have the same thing
I just got mine 2 days ago
That’s great! I was just diagnosed with UPJ at 49. I’ve had this pain for 4 years but just at night. I just thought it was muscle spasms. I see the urologist tomorrow. Nervous about why at this age this has happened and the procedure to fix it. Would love to hear about your experience. Thanks!
I have the same thing
I’ve had it since I was born ☹️
Miraaa same 😢😢
Dani.elle_ how old r u now?
@@Jcrutch90 How long before you could function "normally"?
@@emmanuelramos5158 some people have no issues whatsoever as your other kidney does the work needed. I have horrendous pain. And I've also likely had this all my life. I'm waiting to have my right kidney removed.
Do you have problems yourself?
@@jcaylalove8713 whats your egfr?
