Ureteroscopic lithotripsy or URSL is a modern procedure to treat kidney stones that are immune to medications and other non-surgical methods. URSL provides a high stone passage rate with minimal complications. Ureteroscopy uses precision laser treatment for kidney stone removal stuck in the ureteral passage. The procedure is also effective for small to medium-sized stones ( 7-10mm), offering fast relief from pain and urinary retention.

Diagnostic and Procedure - URSL Treatment
Diagnostic Tests
Several diagnostic tests done before the URSL treatment include the following –
Procedure
The procedure begins after the patient is given spinal or general anesthesia. The surgeon inserts a thin, long fiber-optic scope called a ureteroscope into the ureteral passage through the urethra. Simultaneously, x-rays guide the surgeon inside the kidneys and ureters where the stones are located. Once the stone is located, it is pulled out with a stone basket. If the size of the stone is large, then the surgeon uses a precision laser to break it into smaller fragments. The stone fragments are then flushed out through urine.
The surgeon usually inserts ureteral stents to help flush out the stones from the body. The stent expands the passage of the ureter, which makes it easier for the stone fragments to travel through the ureter and out of the body.

Pristyn Care's Ureteroscopy (URSL) treatment was a life-saver for me. Dealing with kidney stones was incredibly painful, but their urology team was incredibly supportive and understanding. They recommended URSL as the best option for my specific type of kidney stone. The procedure was performed with great care, and Pristyn Care's post-operative care was exceptional. Thanks to them, I am now free from the kidney stone pain and feeling much better.
