In some cases of hydronephrosis in baby boys, surgery may be necessary to address blockages or correct structural abnormalities that are causing the condition. The most common surgical procedure for hydronephrosis is pyeloplasty, which repairs a narrowed or obstructed ureteropelvic junction (UPJ). Other surgical options may include ureteral reimplantation for vesicoureteral reflux or removal of obstructions like kidney stones or tumors
