Abstract: Open Anderson-Hyne’s pyeloplasty is a standard treatment for pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO). Hydropneumothorax is an unheard of complication in pyeloplasty. A 2 month old male child operated for pyeloplasty via dorsal lumbotomy developed dyspneoa due to hydrpneumothorax on post-operative day 1. The patient went into cardiac arrest, was ventilated, an intercostal drain inserted, but the patient eventually recovered and was discharged subsequently after post-operative day 10.
