  3. URS SURGERY URS or ureteroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where a small telescope or ureterscope is inserted into the ureter via the urethra to remove stones. The stones are broken down into smaller pieces using a laser. These fragments are then removed using the grasping devices.

  4. Procedure URS is an outpatient procedure meaning that patientsgenerally go home the same day. The procedure is typically done using general anesthesia however sometimes regional anesthesia can be used successfully in select cases. A preoperative antibiotic is usually given to prevent infection. The procedure can vary in length-sometimes as short as 20 minutes for small un-complicated stones, to one (1) or longer for larger, more complicated stones.

  5. Post-Procedure After the procedure, patients are awakened in the operating room and taken to the recovery room. Once all hospital discharge criteria are met, patients are allowed to go home. A friend or family member is required to accompany you home after the procedure. There are no limitations on physical activities upon discharge. We often recommend taking the day off from work after your procedure.

  6. RISKS OF URETEROSCOPY Ureteroscopy is a safe procedure, usually performed in an outpatient surgical center setting.  Risks include of course pain, infection and bleeding.  Very rare risks included ureteral perforation or injury, or subsequent scarring called stricturing.  The main thing for patients to be concerned about after any stone procedure would be fevers.  Fevers after a stone procedure could trigger bacteremia (bacteria in the blood stream) and even sepsis.  Thus, this situation mandates an immediate trip to the George Washington or Sibley Emergency room.
