URSL (Ureteroscopy)

What is URSL (Ureteroscopy)?

Ureteroscopy, commonly known as URSL, is a specialized endoscopic procedure used to examine and treat problems inside the ureter and kidney. During the procedure, a thin flexible instrument called a ureteroscope is passed through the natural urinary passage to directly visualize the urinary tract.

The ureteroscope contains a miniature camera and light source that allows the surgeon to identify stones, narrowing, or other abnormalities inside the urinary tract. If stones are present, laser technology or specialized instruments may be used to break and remove them safely.

Dr. Samarth Agarwal provides advanced URSL surgery in Siliguri using modern minimally invasive techniques and precision-based treatment approaches.

When is URSL Recommended?

URSL may be recommended for:

• Ureteric stones
• Kidney stones
• Urinary blockage
• Recurrent urinary pain
• Blood in urine
• Stones not passing naturally
• Stones causing infection or obstruction

The procedure is especially useful for stones located in the ureter that cannot be treated effectively with medications alone.

Symptoms of Ureteric Stones

Patients with ureteric stones may experience:

• Severe side or abdominal pain
• Burning sensation during urination
• Blood in urine
• Frequent urge to urinate
• Nausea and vomiting
• Difficulty passing urine
• Fever in case of infection

Timely treatment can help prevent kidney damage and severe urinary complications.

How is URSL Performed?

During the procedure, the ureteroscope is gently inserted through the urethra and bladder into the ureter to identify the stone or blockage.

Laser energy may then be used to break the stone into smaller fragments for easy removal. Since the procedure is performed through the natural urinary passage, there are no external cuts or scars on the body.

URSL is usually performed under anesthesia and offers high treatment success with minimal discomfort.

Benefits of URSL Surgery

URSL offers several important benefits for patients with ureteric stones.

Key benefits include:

• Minimally invasive treatment
• No external incisions
• Effective stone removal
• Faster recovery
• Less pain and bleeding
• Shorter hospital stay
• Quick return to daily activities

Modern laser-assisted URSL improves treatment precision and patient comfort.

Recovery After URSL

Recovery after URSL is generally quick and smooth. Mild burning sensation during urination or slight blood in urine may occur temporarily after the procedure.

Patients are usually advised to:

• Drink adequate water
• Take prescribed medications regularly
• Avoid heavy activities for a short period
• Attend follow-up visits as advised
