If you are suffering from the pain and anxiety caused by a ureter stone, finding a quick, effective, and safe solution is paramount. At Optimum Clinic in Mohali, we specialize in the most advanced options for Ureter Stone Treatment, including the highly successful Ureteroscopic Removal of Stone (URS). Performed by our expert Urologist, Dr. Rajan Sharma, we use precision laser kidney stone removal technology to clear blockages and provide lasting relief with minimal invasiveness.
Ureteroscopic removal of stone is a modern, minimally invasive procedure considered the gold standard for stones lodged in the ureter—the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder. Unlike traditional surgeries that require large incisions, the URS procedure allows for complete stone clearance using the body's natural pathways. This significantly reduces risk, minimizes recovery time, and is highly effective, even for large or hard stones that cannot be treated with external shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL).
We often recommend URS when:
• The stone is too large to pass naturally or has been causing persistent, severe pain.
• The stone is located in the middle or lower part of the ureter.
• The stone is extremely hard or resistant to other non-invasive therapies.
We understand that undergoing any medical procedure can cause anxiety, which is why we prioritize patient comfort and clear communication. The URS procedure is typically performed under either general or spinal anesthesia, ensuring you are completely comfortable throughout the operation.
The process is guided by precision and expertise:
Access: Dr. Sharma uses a thin, flexible fiberoptic instrument called a
ureteroscope. This instrument is gently inserted through the urethra and bladder and guided up into
the ureter. This allows our urologist to directly visualise the stone on a monitor,
ensuring accuracy.
Laser Fragmentation: For most large or dense stones, a powerful medical laser, such
as the Holmium laser, is carefully used to safely break the stone into tiny, sand-like fragments.
These minute pieces are either retrieved using a specialized wire basket or are small enough to be
passed naturally in the urine.
Zero Incision: The most significant advantage is that the entire procedure is
completed without making a single cut on the outside of your body. This makes it a true
minimally invasive stone surgery option.
Choosing URS at Optimum Clinic offers several distinct advantages for patients seeking lasting relief from kidney and ureteral stones:
• No Surgical Scars: Since the procedure uses natural pathways, there are no
external incisions required.
• High Success Rate: Direct visualization ensures that complete stone removal is
achieved in the vast majority of cases.
• Rapid Recovery: Most patients are able to return home the same day or the
following morning, dramatically reducing the necessary URS recovery time and
getting you back on your feet quickly.
• Immediate Pain Relief: Once the obstruction is cleared, patients experience
immediate relief from the acute pain caused by the stone.
A major benefit of choosing URS is the short Ureter Stone Treatment recovery period. Most patients can return home the same day or the following morning, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
The Ureteral Stent: Following the laser kidney stone removal, a temporary stent may be placed in the ureter for a few days. This stent facilitates healing and prevents potential blockage caused by swelling in the ureter. The stent is a thin tube and is easily removed 8 to 14 days after surgery using a simple, flexible cystoscope as an outpatient procedure. Dr. Sharma and our team will provide detailed, personalized aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth, comfortable healing process.
