URS (Ureteroscopy) Surgery in Patna
Advanced ureteroscopy (URS) surgery for the safe and effective treatment of ureteric and kidney stones using minimally invasive endoscopic and laser technology.
What is URS (Ureteroscopy) Surgery?
Ureteroscopy (URS) is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat stones located in the ureter—the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder—and in selected cases, the kidney. During the procedure, a thin endoscope is passed through the natural urinary passage to reach the stone without making any external incision.
Using advanced laser technology, the stone is broken into small fragments that are either removed or passed naturally through urine. At Dr. Rahul Janak Sinha’s Urology Clinic, URS is performed with modern endoscopic equipment to provide effective stone removal, minimal discomfort, and a faster recovery.

URS Procedure
- Step 1: Medical Evaluation : A thorough evaluation, including urine tests, blood tests, ultrasound, CT scan, or X-ray, is performed to determine the size and location of the stone.
- Step 2: Treatment Planning : A personalized treatment plan is created based on the stone’s location, size, and the patient’s overall health.
- Step 3: Ureteroscopy Procedure : A thin ureteroscope is gently passed through the urethra and bladder into the ureter. Laser energy is used to break the stone into small fragments, which are then removed or allowed to pass naturally.
- Step 4: Recovery & Observation : Patients are monitored after the procedure, and a temporary ureteral stent may be placed to support healing and ensure proper urine drainage.
- Step 5: Follow-up Care : Regular follow-up appointments help confirm complete stone clearance, remove the stent if required, and provide guidance to prevent future stone formation.
Recovery After URS Surgery
Most patients recover within a few days after URS surgery. Mild burning during urination, temporary blood in the urine, or slight discomfort may occur for a short period and usually improves with proper hydration and medication.
Patients should drink plenty of water, avoid strenuous activities for a few days, and attend follow-up visits to ensure complete recovery and reduce the risk of stone recurrence.
