Ureteroscopy | Treatment

What is the procedure like?

Ureteroscopy is usually done under general anesthesia, which means that you are not awake for any of the procedure. Before undergoing general anesthesia, like with any other procedure, you will undergo some form of pre-screening to make sure you are fit to undergo anesthesia.

On the day of the procedure, you will be asked to not eat or drink for some time before the procedure. Depending on the specific reason for your ureteroscopy, you may have a stent or catheter in place after the procedure. You will usually be able to go home on the same day that you have the procedure.
