Substantial Advantages of Ureterscopy over Conventional Procedures to Stoke Growth

Kidney stones are painful and their removal and after-surgery recovery is a prolonged process. Ureterscopy allows for accurate location and extraction of stones, ensuring minimum pain and faster recovery. A flexible ureteroscope, for example, can enter into all parts of the kidney, making it easier to locate the stone and remove it in one procedure. Furthermore, the stone can be directly viewed through the ureteroscope, allowing precise lithotripsy with laser followed by catching and removal. While shockwave lithotripsy has been found to be ineffective against hard stones, ureteroscope with holmium lasers can break down any stone, even acid stones, which are not caught on X-rays. Thus, ureteroscopic procedures have considerable advantages over conventional techniques such as ESWL, thus surging their demand among kidney patients.
