Ureteroscopy is performed to remove or break up kidney and ureteral stones that are too large to pass on their own or are causing significant pain or blockage, and can also be used to diagnose or treat other conditions like ureteral strictures or suspicious growths within the urinary tract.

Signs You May Need Ureteroscopy

Warning signs include severe, colicky flank pain that often radiates to the groin, blood in the urine, urinary urgency or frequency, and nausea or vomiting associated with the pain of a stone lodged in the ureter.

Types of Ureteroscopy

The procedure can be done with a rigid or flexible ureteroscope depending on the stone's location, often combined with laser lithotripsy to fragment larger stones into pieces small enough to pass or be extracted with a small basket device.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I need a stent after ureteroscopy?

A temporary ureteral stent is often placed for a few days to a couple of weeks afterward to allow the ureter to heal and urine to drain freely, especially after treating a larger stone.

Is ureteroscopy painful?

The procedure itself is done under anesthesia, so it isn't painful, though some discomfort, urinary urgency, or mild blood in the urine is common for a few days afterward.

How effective is it at clearing stones?

Ureteroscopy has a high success rate for clearing stones in a single session, particularly for stones in the lower ureter, though very large or complex stones sometimes need more than one procedure.

How long is the recovery?

Most patients recover within 1-2 weeks, resuming normal activities quickly once any temporary stent-related discomfort settles.

How can I prevent future stones?

Adequate hydration, dietary changes, and sometimes medication based on stone composition analysis can reduce the risk of forming new stones — a urologist can create a personalized prevention plan.
