Frequently Asked Questions
About Ureteric Stone Treatment In Gurgaon & Ureteric Stone Problems
The tube that transports urine from the kidney to the bladder is known as the ureter. Urine is carried away from the kidneys through the ureters to the urinary bladder, which serves as temporary storage for the urine.
Some of the most common symptoms of Ureteric stones are:
- Pain(colicky) which may be felt anywhere from the flank to the groin region
- More generalized pain or a stomach ache that won’t go away
- Blood in the urine may also be a symptom but not always
- Vomiting or nausea
- Chills and fever (in case of infection)
- Urine with a foul odour or a hazy appearance (also in infection)
There are multiple ways for Ureteric Stone Treatment. A urologist may treat you with the following depending on many stone related and patient-related factors:
- Shock wave lithotripsy: You’ll be fitted with a machine that emits targeted shock waves to break up the stones during this operation. When you urinate, the little particles of the stones move through your urinary tract. This is the one that is the least invasive. It is mostly preferred for stones of the upper ureter area and may require 3 or more sessions depending on the stone factors.
- Ureteroscopy: A urologist inserts a very fine flexible/rigid scope into the ureter through the bladder and urethra, locates the stones, and uses lithoclast /lasers to remove or break them up.
It is totally painless procedure with no incision/scar to the body as the urologist is using the natural pathway to address the stone hence no disruption of the tissues of the urinary tract.
Rigid ureteroscopy: Here the scope used is having a rigid body and is usually reserved till the mid-portion of the ureter (stones present in the mid and lower portion of the ureter are addressed using this ureteroscope.
Flexible ureteroscopy: Here the scope is flexible and has the ability to bend in 270 degrees. It can be used to address stones in any part of the ureter (upper, mid and lower) even we can treat kidney stones with it also. This is flexible ureteroscopy and is also known as RIRS(Retrograde intrarenal surgery).
Using this scope ureteric stones and kidney stones can be treated simultaneously.
- Mini Percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL): This operation employs the use of a scope to locate and remove stones from the kidney and upper ureter. A small incision (cut) on your back allows the scope to be put directly into your kidney and stones are broken down using lithoclast/laser. If stones are present in the upper ureter and also the kidney then this technique can be used.
