If you’re dealing with kidney stones, we understand that this can be a difficult and painful time for you. At the Urological Center, we have the solution you need: semi-rigid ureteroscopy. This innovative procedure offers an effective and less invasive alternative to eliminate those annoying stones that interrupt your daily life.
Semi-rigid ureteroscopy involves inserting a ureteroscope through the urethra and bladder into the ureter. This device allows kidney stones to be visualized and then removed using specialized tools. This is done under general or regional anesthesia for your convenience.
This procedure is ideal for people who have symptoms of kidney stones, such as severe pain, hematuria (blood in the urine), or recurrent infections. Our specialists will guide you to determine if this is the best option for your specific situation.
Before undergoing your ureteroscopy, we perform a thorough evaluation that includes imaging studies and laboratory tests. This ensures that we are fully informed about your condition before proceeding.
During the intervention, we begin with sedation and then introduce the ureteroscope. We use advanced tools to remove stones effectively and safely. Our team will make sure you are comfortable throughout the process.
After the procedure, we monitor you closely to ensure optimal recovery. Make sure to follow all our instructions and do not hesitate to ask us questions about your post-operative care.
At the Urology Center, we have a team of highly trained professionals dedicated to providing the best care in urology. Our comprehensive approach allows us to not only treat your condition, but also improve your quality of life and overall well-being.
You’re not alone on this path. Many of our patients have overcome the pain of kidney stones thanks to semi-rigid ureteroscopy. They have returned to enjoying their daily activities without the discomfort and stress caused by these health problems.
Most of our patients report minimal pain thanks to anesthesia and the minimally invasive approach of semi-rigid ureteroscopy. Our goal is to make sure you feel comfortable throughout the experience.
Recovery varies from patient to patient, but in general, many can resume normal activities within a few days. We will provide you with all the necessary care and will be at your disposal to answer your questions during this time.
As with any medical procedure, there are certain risks, although they are rare. These can include minor urinary tract infections or injuries. However, our team is perfectly prepared to handle any eventuality and prioritize your safety.
