In the event that the stone is enormous, or then again if the distance across of the ureter is restricted, the stone should be divided, which is typically refined with a laser. When the stone is broken into little pieces, these pieces are eliminated.

The entry of the ureteroscope may bring about expanding in the ureter. Subsequently, it could be important to briefly leave a little cylinder, called a ureteral stent, inside the ureter briefly to guarantee that the kidney channels pee well.Ureteroscopy normally can be proceeding as an outpatient strategy, nonetheless; patients might require an overnight clinic stay if the method demonstrates extensive or troublesome.Cystoscopy and ureteroscopy are normal techniques performed by a urologist to peer inside the urinary tract.
