What is an Endoscopic Ureteral Stone Fragmentation and Stent Placement?

Endoscopic ureteral stone fragmentation and stent placement is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to remove ureteral stones (kidney stones). A rigid telescope and surgical instruments are inserted through a small incision in the lower abdomen to reach the affected area. A laser or radio waves are used to break up the stones, which are then collected and removed. A stent may be left in place to allow urine to pass freely through the tube from the kidney to the bladder.

Why would I get an Endoscopic Ureteral Stone Fragmentation and Stent Placement?

This procedure is usually recommended if you have been diagnosed with a ureteral stone that is too large to pass through the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder. Your doctor may also recommend this procedure if your stone is too large to be treated with shockwave lithotripsy or other nonsurgical treatments.

What happens during an Endoscopic Ureteral Stone Fragmentation and Stent Placement?

This procedure is done while you are under general anesthesia. Your doctor will begin by making a small incision in your lower abdomen to access the affected area. The doctor will then insert a rigid telescope and surgical instruments through the incision. A laser or radio waves will be used to break up the stone, which then will be collected and removed. A stent may be placed at the end of the procedure to allow urine to pass freely.

What to expect after an Endoscopic Ureteral Stone Fragmentation and Stent Placement?

Once the procedure is complete, you will need to remain hospitalized overnight. You may experience some pain or discomfort in the abdominal area, as well as frequent trips to the restroom as the healing process takes place. You may also experience nausea or vomiting for a few days afterwards.

Conclusion

The endoscopic ureteral stone fragmentation and stent placement procedure is a minimally invasive approach to removing stones that are too large to pass through the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder. It is usually done while the patient is under general anesthesia, and may require overnight hospitalization. After the procedure, you may experience some pain or discomfort in the abdominal area, nausea, or vomiting. With proper aftercare, this procedure should help reduce or eliminate the symptoms of kidney stones.
