Laser URS Surgery Doctor Explains Ureteroscopy
Procedure

• What is ureteroscopy?
• Ureteroscopy is an outpatient procedure used to
  treat stones in the ureters. It can also be used
  to assess and treat other causes of kidney
  blockage or blood in the urine, says the doctor
  of laser URS surgery in Kolkata.
• Ureteroscopy is performed using an ureteroscope,
  which is a long, thin tube with an eyepiece on
  one end and a tiny lens and a light on the other.
  In general, there are two approaches to
  ureteroscopy for stone removal
• 1.If the stone is small, the doctor will insert a
  scope into the ureter to extract it. The scope
  used in this procedure will have a small basket
  at the end of a wire that is threaded through an
  additional channel in the ureteroscope. The stone
  is collected in the basket.
•  
• 2.In larger stones, the doctor will extend a
  flexible fibre through the scope up to the stone.
  The doctor will break the stone into pieces small
  enough to be passed out of the body with urine
  using a laser beam shining through the scope.
• The doctor will determine the best ureteroscopy
  treatment option for the patient based on the
  stones location, size and composition, says
  the TURP doctor in Kolkata.

Is ureteroscopy a good option for me?

• If one has a ureteral stone near the bladder,
  particularly in the lower half of the ureter,
  ureteroscopy is the most effective treatment.
  Pregnant women, obese patients and those with a
  blood clotting disorder can also benefit from
  ureteroscopy.

What should I do to prepare for an
ureteroscopy?One should talk with their doctor
if there are any special instructions for
preparing for an ureteroscopy. Patients are
usually advised not to eat anything before the
procedure.Before the procedure, one may be asked
to provide a urine sample to check for infection.
If this is the case, one may be told not to
urinate for an hour before the procedure.

• What happens during an ureteroscopy?
• The surgery is performed while one is asleep. The
  doctor will insert an ureteroscope into the
  bladder and ureter to look for urinary tract
  problems, says the doctor of ureter stone laser
  treatment in Kolkata.

What should I expect following an ureteroscopy?

• Because one will be sedated during the procedure,
  they should arrange for a ride home.
• The doctor can prescribe antibiotics for the
  first two days following the procedure to prevent
  infection. Infection symptoms include fever,
  chills and worsening pain. One should inform
  their doctor if they notice any of these
  symptoms.
• Most ureteroscopy patients experience mild to
  moderate pain that can be controlled with
  medication. To relieve mild pain, one should
• Drink sufficient water for the next two days
• Take a warm bath with the doctors permission
• Apply a warm, damp washcloth over the urethral
  opening
• Other side effects include kidney and bladder
  cramps and burning sensation while urinating.
  Urine can appear pink or red and these symptoms
  can last until the stent is removed, says the
  doctor of urine infection treatment in Kolkata.
