Kidney Stones – Diagnosis & Treatments

Ureteroscopy

Ureteroscopy is a tiny device in the shape of a tube. Built with a camera, it could be inserted into your urethra to break the kidney stones into smaller pieces or remove them out of the body. This process could be very painful. It often needs either general or local anesthesia to minimize the pain. Also, there might be some possible risks of internal bleeding or infection during or after the operation. [6]
