Ureteroscopy (URS)
Overview
Ureteroscopy (URS) is a minimally invasive procedure used for diagnosing and treating stones, strictures, and other abnormalities in the ureters and kidneys. This advanced technique involves the use of a thin, flexible, or rigid ureteroscope, which is inserted through the urethra and bladder into the ureter to directly visualize and treat the affected area.
We offer state-of-the-art URS procedures with precision and care. Our team of highly skilled specialists ensures a safe and effective treatment experience, providing relief from painful urinary tract conditions. URS is commonly used for:
- Kidney and Ureteral Stones Removal: Breaking or extracting stones using laser lithotripsy or specialized tools.
- Stricture Management: Treating ureteral narrowing that can cause urinary obstruction.
- Tumor and Abnormality Detection: Identifying and assessing abnormal growths in the urinary tract.
- Stent Placement: Inserting a stent to maintain urine flow when required.
- Expertise in advanced endoscopic procedures.
- Minimally invasive techniques with faster recovery times.
- High success rates with modern laser technology.

FAQs
Q1: Is ureteroscopy painful?
A: URS is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort or burning sensation during urination may occur afterward, but it subsides within a few days.
Q2: How long does it take to recover from ureteroscopy?
A: Most patients can return to normal activities within 2-3 days. However, if a stent is placed, mild discomfort may persist until its removal.
Q3: Are there any risks associated with URS?
A: URS is generally safe, but like any procedure, there are minor risks such as infection, bleeding, or temporary swelling of the ureter. Our specialists take all precautions to minimize complications and ensure a smooth recovery.
