Medical Program for Surgery Laparoscopic Ureterolithotomy
Laparoscopic ureterolithotomy has recently emerged as a new treatment option for ureteral stones of particularly large size, hardness or impaction.
Kidney stones have several locations and one of them is the tube through which the urine that is produced in the kidneys goes down and is deposited in the bladder, the ureter.
The calculations in the ureter is a place where the calculation produces a lot of pain because it obstructs the passage of urine, requiring the patient to go to an emergency service for pain management.
These calculations located in the reter can be treated with a type of surgery that is very little invasive, called ureteroscopy, which involves passing a very thin instrument through the tube where the urine comes out, the calculation is visualized, it is broken and extract
Urolithiasis is a pathology that affects the population in general, with a higher prevalence in productive ages, which has led to it being considered a pathology of high cost due to the time of disability it generates in patients.
