How do they remove the stone through urethroscopy?

By fragmenting stone: Ureteroscopes are small flexible tubes fitted with a camera, and passed up the ureter to the stone. A laser fiber can be positioned through the tube, and laser energy is used to break the stone up into fragments. Larger fragments can be extracted using small stone basket passed through the scope. The remaining sand like particles with pass on their own, or with the aid of a ureteral stent.

Ureteroscopy: This depends upon the size of the stones and the size of your ureter. Smaller stones < 5 mm can typically be grasped with small basket and removed in their entirety. Larger stones may require a laser to break the stone into smaller pieces to be removed via a basketing or so small they will pass by themselves (<1-2 mm). All is done internally through scopes and an incision is rarely needed.

Here are some…: Using cystoscope &amp; ureteroscope, a urologist can gain access to where the stone is located and pulverize the offending stones with holmium laser lithotripter safely and effectively for most cases. Of course, any procedure has its own limitation depending on professional proficiency and equipment availability. So, ask urologist for individual details timely. Best wish…
