Maybe, but...: Transurethral laser lithotripsy has been overtaking and becoming the standard of care for most stones of <1.-2 cm in the kidneys and almost all stones in the ureters nowadays in the advent of refining the flexibility and size of scopes & laser fiber as well as the elevated professional proficiency. However, the passage of fragments or small mucosal debris may still last for 2-4 wks. More? Ask Dr.
