Stay & travel
From inquiry to your 12-month review
Most patients fly home on day 3 or 4. Office work with a hat is fine after day 10; client-facing work most patients delay until day 14. Final result settles between months 9 and 12.
Pre-op
Imaging and urine tests confirm the stone and rule out infection.
Procedure day
The stone is reached and fragmented with a laser; a stent is often placed.
Day 1
Most patients go home the same day or after one night.
Day 1-7
Mild burning, urgency and traces of blood settle with fluids and pain relief.
Week 1-2
The temporary stent is removed in a brief outpatient appointment.
Week 2-4
Follow-up confirms the stone has cleared.
The questions you'd ask a friend who'd already done it
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.
