Ureteral stones can cause obstruction in the channel that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. This may lead to severe pain, difficulty urinating, and impaired kidney function.
Flexible laser endoscopic treatment is necessary in the following cases:
- Severe Symptoms: Unbearable back and groin pain that does not subside with medication or increased fluid intake.
- Restricted Movement: Sharp and sudden pain that limits daily activities.
- Recurring Stone Problems: Frequent stone formation in the same area that persists despite previous treatments.
- Urinary Obstruction: Stones completely blocking the ureter, preventing urine flow.
- Risk of Kidney Damage: Potential deterioration of kidney function due to prolonged obstruction.
In such cases, instead of waiting for the stone to pass naturally, endoscopic treatment provides a safe and permanent solution.
