Ureteric Stone Removal Procedure
Ureteric stone removal is a procedure designed to treat stones located in the ureter, the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder. One of the most common methods for removing these stones is ureteroscopy, where a thin scope is passed through the bladder and into the ureter to locate and remove the stone. Laser lithotripsy can also be used during this procedure to fragment the stone, allowing it to pass naturally or be retrieved using a basket-like device.
For larger stones or more complex cases, a procedure called percutaneous nephrolithotomy may be necessary. This involves making a small incision in the back to access the kidney and ureter directly. Both approaches are effective, but the choice of method depends on factors such as the size and location of the stone. Recovery is usually quick, and post-operative care includes hydration and medications to prevent future stones.
