Ureterorenoscopy
Ureterorenoscopy is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure that allows visualization of the inner surface of the ureter and renal pelvis, removal of stones or tumors, and performance of therapeutic manipulations without surgical incisions.
When is ureterorenoscopy indicated?
- In urolithiasis, for the removal of stones from the ureter or kidneys.
- In cases of suspected tumors of the ureter or renal pelvis.
- When blood is detected in the urine (hematuria) without an identified cause.
- For the diagnosis and treatment of ureteral strictures (narrowing).
- In chronic urinary tract infections associated with anatomical abnormalities of the ureter.
How is the procedure performed?
- Diagnostics and preparation – ultrasound, CT or MRI of the kidneys and urinary tract, as well as blood and urine tests, are performed.
- Anesthesia – the procedure is carried out under spinal or general anesthesia.
- Insertion of the ureteroscope – an endoscopic instrument is advanced through the urethra into the ureter and kidney.
- Diagnosis and treatment – the physician examines the mucosa of the ureter and kidneys and performs stone removal, polyp excision, or tissue biopsy if needed.
- Postoperative monitoring – the patient undergoes follow-up evaluation; in some cases, a temporary ureteral stent is placed to normalize urine outflow.
Main advantages of ureterorenoscopy in Belarus
- No incisions – the procedure is performed via natural anatomical pathways.
- Rapid recovery – most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 days.
- High diagnostic accuracy with the ability to provide immediate treatment.
- Effective stone removal in urolithiasis.
