Ureteroscopy Procedure
Ureteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat problems in the ureter, including kidney stones. A thin, flexible scope called a ureteroscope is inserted through the urethra, bladder, and into the ureter. The scope allows the surgeon to visually inspect the ureter and remove stones using small instruments or break them apart with a laser. This procedure is often preferred for stones that are lodged in the lower ureter, as it does not require any incisions.
The ureteroscopy procedure is generally performed under anesthesia and requires minimal recovery time. In some cases, a stent may be placed in the ureter to keep it open and facilitate the passage of any stone fragments. The stent is usually removed after a few days or weeks, depending on the patient’s condition. Complications are rare but can include minor bleeding or discomfort during urination.
