Overview of Ureteroscopy Treatment

When you experience pain while urinating or persistent lower tract discomfort, doctor recommendations often point towards URS. This approach serves a dual purpose:

  • Diagnose the problem: Direct visual inspection of ureteric structures and blockages.
  • Fix the problem: Precise stone fragmentation and extraction during the same session.

Pre-Op Preparation & Procedure Steps

What Happens Before Ureteroscopy?

Key precautions and checks before going into surgery:

  • Inform the doctor about all ongoing medications or dietary supplements.
  • Disclose any active drug or drug class allergies.
  • Notify your clinical team if you are or might be pregnant.
  • Complete all required pre-op blood tests and urine work.
  • Follow mandatory fasting instructions (no food or drinks prior to surgery).

Surgical Procedure Steps

1

General Anesthesia

You remain comfortably asleep. The urologist passes the ureteroscope tip through the urethra.

2

Sterile Solution Insertion

A sterile fluid expands the area, giving clear endoscopic access to advance the scope into the ureter.

3

Holmium Laser Fragmentation

The Holmium laser breaks targeted stones into tiny fragments for extraction. Tissue samples are taken if required.
