Common questions
Why do I need a stent afterwards?
A stent keeps the ureter open and helps it heal and drain after treatment; it is removed a short time later and can cause temporary urinary urgency.
Is ureteroscopy painful?
There is usually mild discomfort, burning when passing urine and some urgency for a few days, which settles with simple measures.
How effective is it at clearing stones?
It has a high success rate for ureteric and many kidney stones, though occasionally a second session is needed for larger stones.
