Ureteroscopy

It is a procedure in which a small scope (like a flexible telescope) is inserted into the bladder and ureter and it is used to diagnose and treat a variety of problems in the urinary tract. For ureteral stones (a stone in the ureter), it allows the urologist to actually look into the ureter, find the stone and remove it. The surgeon passes a tiny wire basket into the lower ureter via the bladder, grabs the stone and pulls the stone free.

Who Needs a Ureteroscopy?

If you have undiagnosed urinary tract problems, such as urine blockage, a ureteroscopy can help identify the problem. When you see a doctor because it hurts to pee and you’re not going as often as you should, you may or may not need this procedure. It will depend on your symptoms and what other tests show. Doctors sometimes use ureteroscopy as part of shock wave lithotripsy, a treatment to break up kidney stones. This is most helpful for:

Women who are pregnant
People who are very overweight
People with blood-clotting problems.

Benefits and Risks

Ureteroscopy is an effective way to do several things. For example, it lets your urologist:

Get a very clear view of the urinary tract
Remove or break up stones
Take out suspicious-looking tissue
