Ureteric surgery

Find the right treatment for you

The ureters are the pipes that connect the kidneys to the bladder and are an integral part of our plumbing. Blockage or damage to the ureters needs surgical intervention to bring about resolution.

Flexible ureteroscopy and laser surgery

Flexible ureteroscopy and laser treatment is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat kidney stones or other problems in the urinary tract.

During the procedure, the doctor uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera (ureteroscope) to go through the urethra, bladder, and up into the ureter (the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder). This allows them to see inside the urinary tract. If there are kidney stones, a laser is used to break them into smaller pieces, which can either be removed or passed naturally in the urine.

Since no incisions are made, recovery is usually quicker, and you can often go home the same day. The procedure is done under anaesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain during it.
