Ureteroscopy (URS) is a highly effective minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat kidney stones and other urinary tract abnormalities. When kidney stones become lodged in the ureters (the tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder), they can cause severe pain, urinary blockage, and infections. URS surgery for stone removal allows urologists to visualize, break, and remove stones using a small, flexible or rigid ureteroscope.
Ureteroscopic stone removal is one of the most advanced treatments for ureteral and kidney stones, offering faster recovery, minimal pain, and no incisions. At Pratham Urology, we specialize in Ureteroscopy (URS) surgery in Ahmedabad, providing state-of-the-art treatment options for patients suffering from kidney stones and urinary tract disorders.
What is Ureteroscopy (URS) Surgery?
Ureteroscopy (URS) is a non-invasive or minimally invasive procedure that uses a thin, flexible ureteroscope to access the urinary tract and remove kidney stones or treat other ureteral abnormalities.
Types of Ureteroscopy
- Flexible Ureteroscopy – Used for smaller kidney stones located in the upper ureter or kidney.
- Rigid Ureteroscopy – Used for stones lodged in the lower ureter, closer to the bladder.
URS surgery for kidney stone removal is performed under anesthesia, ensuring a painless and comfortable experience.
When is Ureteroscopy (URS) Needed?
Ureteroscopy is recommended for patients who experience:
- Severe Pain in the Lower Back or Abdomen - Sharp, intense pain due to kidney stones blocking urine flow is a common reason for undergoing URS surgery for stone removal.
- Blood in the Urine (Hematuria) - Kidney stones can scratch the lining of the urinary tract, leading to pink, red, or brown-colored urine.
- Frequent or Painful Urination - When stones irritate the ureter or bladder, they can cause burning sensations, frequent urination, or difficulty passing urine.
- Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) - Chronic kidney stones can increase the risk of infections, leading to fever, chills, and discomfort.
If you experience any of these symptoms, consult a urologist in Ahmedabad to determine if Ureteroscopy (URS) surgery is the right option for you.
Benefits of Ureteroscopy (URS) for Kidney Stone Removal
URS stone removal surgery offers several advantages over traditional treatments:
- No Incisions or Cuts - Since URS is performed via the urinary tract, it does not require any surgical cuts or stitches.
- Highly Effective for Ureteral and Kidney Stones - URS can treat stones of all sizes, even those that are too hard for shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).
- Minimal Pain and Quick Recovery
- Most patients return home the same day.
- Faster recovery time compared to PCNL or open surgery.
- Suitable for Patients with Bleeding Disorders - Unlike shock wave lithotripsy, URS is safe for patients who cannot undergo ESWL due to blood clotting conditions.
- No Need for External Drainage Tubes - Unlike PCNL, URS does not require nephrostomy tubes, making it more comfortable for patients.
