Overview of Ureterolithotomy Procedure
Ureterolithotomy is a surgical procedure used to remove stones from the ureter. It involves directly accessing the ureter to extract the stone. This surgery is usually performed when minimally invasive methods are not effective.
Surgical Technique for Ureteral Stone Removal
Ureterolithotomy is performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. The surgeon makes an incision to access the ureter where the stone is located. Careful dissection is done to expose the ureter without damaging surrounding tissues. The ureter is opened precisely to remove the stone intact. After stone removal, the ureter is sutured and a stent may be placed to support healing. This procedure provides complete stone removal in complex or impacted cases.
Clinical Indications for Ureterolithotomy
- To remove large or impacted ureteric stones
- When endoscopic or shock wave treatments have failed
