URS Treatment in Mukundapur

Ureterorenoscopy (URS), also known as ureteroscopy, is a highly effective, minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat ureteral and renal stones.  In this procedure, a scope is passed through the natural urinary passages (urethra and bladder) into the ureter to treat stones. URS allows precise stone removal without any external incisions, ensuring faster recovery and minimal discomfort.

Manipal Hospitals offers advanced Ureterorenoscopy (URS) in Mukundapur, Kolkata, with expert urologists and cutting-edge technology to deliver safe and successful outcomes.

Why is Ureterorenoscopy (URS) done?

This procedure is recommended to:

  • Treat stones located in the ureter or kidney

  • Remove stones that are not suitable for other treatments like ESWL

  • Relieve symptoms such as severe pain, urinary blockage, or infection

  • Manage stones causing recurrent urinary tract infections

  • Ensure complete removal of stones with direct visualisation

If urinary stones are not treated in time, they may lead to complications such as persistent pain, infection, obstruction of urine flow, kidney swelling, and long-term kidney damage. Timely treatment with URS helps prevent these complications and preserves urinary health.

What happens before Ureterorenoscopy?

Our urology team will prepare you for the procedure with:

  • Detailed evaluation including blood tests, urine tests, and imaging (ultrasound or CT scan)

  • Assessment of overall health and fitness for anaesthesia

  • Review of medical history and current medications

  • Instructions regarding fasting and medication adjustments

  • Pre-procedure counselling for the patient and family

What happens during Ureterorenoscopy?

Ureterorenoscopy (URS) in Mukundapur, Kolkata, is performed under anaesthesia in the following manner:

  • A thin ureteroscope is passed through the urethra and bladder into the ureter or kidney

  • The stone is located using direct visual guidance

  • Small stones are removed using special instruments

  • Larger stones are broken into fragments using laser lithotripsy

  • The procedure typically takes 30–90 minutes, depending on the size and location of the stone

What happens after Ureterorenoscopy?

After URS, patients are monitored for a short period before discharge. Most patients can go home the same day or after an overnight stay. Mild discomfort, burning during urination, or blood-tinged urine may occur temporarily. A ureteral stent may be placed to aid drainage and is removed later. Patients are encouraged to drink plenty of fluids, take prescribed medications, and gradually resume normal activities. Most individuals recover quickly and return to routine within a few days to a week.
