Minimally invasive ureteral stone removal
An advanced technique aimed at safe and effective removal of ureteral stones with minimal trauma.
Ureteral stones are formations of mineral salts that can cause severe pain, difficulty urinating, and infection. The ureters connect the kidneys to the bladder, and stones in this area can block the flow of urine, causing acute pain.
Untreated stones can damage the kidneys and cause other serious complications. Minimally invasive ureteral stone removal is one of the most effective treatments. The procedure is performed using a urethroscope, a thin instrument that is inserted through the urethra and allows the doctor to see and remove the stones.
Urological consultation. Computed tomography (CT) scan or ultrasound (USG) scan. Common blood test, biochemical blood test and urinalysis.
Ureteroscopy is the most common approach to minimally invasive ureteral stone removal. The procedure is performed under general or spinal anaesthesia. A ureteroscope, a thin, flexible instrument with a camera and light guide, is inserted through the urethra and bladder into the ureter. After the stone is displayed, it is broken into small fragments using a laser lithotripter or ultrasound probe. These fragments are then removed using tiny buckets or forceps.
Ureteroscopes. Laser and ultrasonic lithotripters.
The patient may experience mild discomfort and increased urination after the procedure, which usually subsides within a few days. Recovery takes 1-2 weeks, after which the patient can return to normal life. It is recommended that the patient rest and avoid physical activity for a few days after the procedure.
