Ureteroscopy (URS) is a modern procedure in which a thin scope is passed through the urinary tract to reach and treat kidney stones.
The scope is inserted naturally through the urethra, so no external cuts or stitches are required.
A laser is used to break kidney stones into fine pieces, making removal smooth and highly effective.
Patients can usually walk the same evening and are discharged the next day after the procedure.
URS is highly effective for most kidney stones and offers a faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
