Ureteroscopy and Laser Lithotripsy (URSL)
Ureteroscopy and Laser Lithotripsy (URSL) at MEDVOYAGER
At MEDVOYAGER, we provide advanced Ureteroscopy and Laser Lithotripsy (URSL) as an effective minimally invasive treatment for kidney stones located in the ureter. Our team of skilled urologists uses cutting-edge technology to ensure precise treatment and optimal patient outcomes.
Understanding URSL
Ureteroscopy and Laser Lithotripsy (URSL) is a procedure designed to remove or fragment stones that are lodged in the ureter, the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder. The procedure utilizes a ureteroscope, a thin, flexible tube equipped with a camera and laser technology, to access the stone and manage it effectively.
Indications for URSL
- Stone Size and Location: Ideal for stones located in the ureter, especially those that are too large to pass naturally or are causing significant symptoms.
- Stone Composition: Effective for most types of ureteral stones, including calcium oxalate, uric acid, and cystine stones.
- Failed Conservative Treatments: Suitable for patients who have not responded to other non-invasive treatments such as ESWL.
