URSL (Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy) – Stork Hospital, Hyderabad
Advanced Endoscopic Stone Removal
Precision URSL utilizing advanced Holmium laser technology for incision-free removal of ureteral stones with rapid recovery and high success rates.
Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy (URSL) is a safe and precise minimally invasive method for removing stones from the ureter or kidney. A slim ureteroscope is passed through the urinary passage — via the urethra and bladder — to reach the stone directly. Once located, a Holmium laser is used to break it into tiny fragments, which are then either removed or left to pass naturally through urine. At Stork Multispecialty Hospital, Hyderabad, our urology team performs URSL with cutting-edge technology, ensuring effective results, minimal discomfort, and quick recovery.

How URSL is Done
Pre-Surgical Mapping
High-resolution imaging (Ultrasound, CT scan) to assess precise stone geometry and location.
Anesthesia & Navigation
Under general or spinal anesthesia, a slim ureteroscope is passed via the urethra to reach the stone.
Laser Fragmentation
A precision Holmium laser is used to shatter the stone into sand-like particles for easy extraction.
Removal & Drainage
Fragments are extracted using specialized baskets; a temporary stent may be placed to optimize healing.
