URS (Ureteroscopy) Stone Surgery in Patna
Advanced Laser Stone Removal. No Incisions. Faster Recovery.
Advanced Minimally Invasive Treatment for Ureteric Stones
Ureteric stones can cause severe pain, blockage of urine flow, blood in the urine, recurrent infections, and kidney swelling. When a stone becomes stuck in the ureter—the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder—it may require specialized treatment for safe removal.
At NIRAMAYAH HOSPITAL, we offer URS (Ureteroscopy), a highly effective minimally invasive procedure used to remove or fragment ureteric stones using advanced endoscopic and laser technology. Our experienced urologists provide safe, precise, and effective stone treatment with minimal discomfort and rapid recovery.
What is URS (Ureteroscopy)?
URS (Ureteroscopy) is one of the most effective minimally invasive procedures for treating ureteric stones.
The procedure involves passing a thin, specialized endoscope through the urethra and bladder into the ureter. Once the stone is located, it is either removed intact or fragmented using laser technology.
Because the procedure uses the body’s natural urinary passage, no external incision is required.
URS offers excellent outcomes with minimal discomfort and a quick return to normal activities.
Understanding Ureteric Stones
The ureter is a narrow tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder.
When a kidney stone moves into the ureter, it may become lodged and obstruct urine flow. This can cause severe pain and potentially damage the kidney if not treated promptly.
Ureteric stones vary in size and location and may affect the upper, middle, or lower ureter.
Symptoms of Ureteric Stones
Common symptoms include:
- Severe pain in the side or back
- Pain radiating to the groin
- Blood in urine
- Burning during urination
- Frequent urination
- Nausea and vomiting
- Difficulty passing urine
- Fever and chills (in infected stones)
Immediate medical attention is important if fever or urinary blockage occurs.
Causes and Risk Factors
Factors that increase the risk of stone formation include:
- Inadequate water intake
- High salt consumption
- Family history of kidney stones
- Obesity
- Metabolic disorders
- Recurrent urinary tract infections
- Certain dietary habits
Understanding these factors helps reduce the risk of recurrence.
