DR.A.K.JAYARAJ.M.S.,M.Ch.,DNB (Urology) > Ureterorenoscopy

Overview
This is a treatment for ureteric stones. Here a rigid fine instrument is introduced into the urinary system of the patient through the natural orifice. The stone can be visualized in the ureter and can be broken by holmium laser. The small pieces of the stone can be removed by means of forceps or left to be passed on their own. Sometimes a fine plastic tube which is called as a stent is placed after the surgery and requires removal at a later date.
