All you need to know about ureteroscopy

Ureteroscopy is a short surgical procedure that involves passing a specialized instrument into the ureter. The ureter is the long muscular tube that drains urine from the kidney to the bladder. The reason we do this is that normally the urine drains freely into the bladder, although sometimes there are kidney stones. It can go down and cause an obstruction and that causes intense pain and comes to scratch pee allows us to get rid of the stone normally by fragmenting it with a laser and removing it with a small basket allowing the urine to pass freely later and resolution of the pain First of all, you would

for a number of conditions if you have a stone that is blocking the ureter, as I mentioned above, and that causes severe pain that usually

s emergency treatment; however, sometimes people have kidney stones that are in the kidneys that require removal and in that situation we use a flexible ureter escapement that allows us to look into the kidney and find the stone, manipulate it into a good position and then break it up. using a laser again and eliminating the fragments with the basket that each one had to remove.

It is required in an emergency condition to remove a stone from a blocked ureter or to pass kidney stones that cause kidney pain or problems. There are a number of benefits for you, each of which Ross could be compared to other methods of treating kidney stones. The other main method is lithotripsy, which involves shock waves on the kidney stone to break it into fragments. It comes to scratch P. However, it allows us to see the stone directly and, to ensure its elimination, it also allows us to collect a sample of the stone and send it to the laboratory, where we can then analyze the stone and be able to inform the patient about any dietary modifications. that they can do to reduce the risk of further stone formation.

Some stones in the kidney can be very difficult to access and are not particularly susceptible to lithotripsy, particularly kidney stones in the lower pole at the end of the long, thin tracks of the kidney and the use of a P-scratch again allows us to visualize the calculation and is now completely removed without residual fragments that sometimes form ellipses.

ureteroscopy

, which is four stones in the ureter, a guide wire will be passed passing the instrument through the urinary tract to the ureter and then a long, thin instrument called a urethral endoscope will be passed through the urethra into the ureter to the position of the stone, the stone is then fragmented using a very thin laser fiber with high energy laser pulses on the stone and the stone is dusted and the dust is washed or fragmented into several particles and the particles are then removed with a basket if the stone is up into the kidney, then a flexible urethral endoscope is inserted into the kidney, usually over a guide wire.

It is a quick and simple procedure. Then everything lasts between 20 minutes and half an hour. The flexible urethral endoscope is used to look around the kidney and find relevant stones and break them into four pieces as a fragrance or again sprinkle them into small fragments which are then washed away leaving no remaining stones. The advantage of its copy de trois is that it is usually a day procedure, so patients can usually. To go home immediately after the operation, sometimes an extension of the ureter is left to allow urine to drain freely, which may need to be removed later, but we usually manage to perform the procedure without leaving any more stents, there is usually a recovery period of a few hours.

After anesthesia, usually the patient can go home later that same day and we will follow up on our patients with the result of the stove analysis and usually provide images to prove that the stone has been removed completely you
