Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy (URSL) treatment in Bangalore by expert urologists at Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital.


URSL Treatment in Bangalore | Genesiss Multi-Speciality Hospital

URSL (Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy) is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove stones present in the ureter that cause pain, obstruction, or infection. At Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, URSL treatment is performed after careful evaluation to relieve urinary blockage, restore normal urine flow, and prevent complications without the need for open surgery.


What Is URSL?

URSL stands for Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy. It is a procedure in which a thin scope (ureteroscope) is passed through the natural urinary passage to reach the ureter. Laser energy is then used to break the stone into small fragments, which are either removed or allowed to pass naturally through urine.

URSL is commonly recommended for stones lodged in the ureter that do not pass on their own or cause significant symptoms.


URSL may be advised when:

  • Stones are stuck in the ureter
  • Severe pain persists despite medicines
  • Stones are causing urine flow blockage
  • There is a risk of infection due to obstruction
  • Stones are not suitable for ESWL
  • Recurrent ureter stone episodes occur

Final suitability is decided by a urologist based on imaging and patient condition.


Symptoms That May Require URSL Treatment

Patients may require URSL if they experience:

  • Sudden severe flank or lower abdominal pain
  • Pain radiating toward the groin
  • Blood in urine
  • Burning sensation or difficulty during urination
  • Stones detected in the ureter on scans

How Doctors Decide If URSL Is Suitable

Before recommending URSL, doctors assess:

  • Stone size and exact ureter location
  • Degree of urine blockage
  • Kidney function
  • Presence of infection
  • Overall medical history

Investigations may include:

  • Ultrasound
  • CT scan
  • Urine tests
  • Blood tests

These tests help plan safe and effective stone removal.


How URSL Is Performed

URSL at Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital is performed in a fully equipped operating theatre under anesthesia.

  • A ureteroscope is gently passed through the urinary passage
  • Laser energy is used to break the stone into fragments
  • Stone pieces are removed or allowed to pass naturally
  • A temporary ureteric stent may be placed in selected cases to aid healing

The procedure avoids external cuts and focuses on precise stone clearance.


What Happens After URSL Treatment?

After URSL:

  • Stone fragments pass through urine
  • Mild burning during urination may occur temporarily
  • Pain medicines may be prescribed
  • Increased fluid intake is advised
  • Follow-up visits help confirm complete stone clearance

Patients receive guidance on activity and recovery care.


Recovery After URSL

Recovery after URSL is usually quick:

  • Most patients return home within a short time
  • Normal activities resume as advised by the doctor
  • Temporary urinary discomfort may occur
  • Follow-up imaging ensures stone clearance
  • Preventive advice is provided to reduce recurrence

When Should You Consult a Urologist After URSL?

Seek medical attention if you experience:

  • Fever or chills
  • Severe or persistent pain
  • Difficulty passing urine
  • Continued blood in urine
  • Symptoms that do not improve

Early evaluation helps avoid complications.
