What is URS Laser Surgery?
Ureteroscopy (URS) with Holmium laser is a minimally invasive procedure to break and remove kidney and ureteric stones without any incisions.
How It Works
1. A thin, flexible telescope (ureteroscope) is passed through the urethra and bladder into the ureter
2. The Holmium laser fibre fragments the stone into tiny pieces
3. Fragments are either removed or pass naturally
Advantages
- No cuts or incisions required
- Day surgery — go home the same day
- High success rate — over 95% stone clearance
- Minimal pain — local or general anaesthesia
- Quick recovery — back to work in 1–2 days
Who is it For?
Ideal for stones in the ureter (5–20mm) and kidney (up to 2cm). For larger stones, PCNL may be recommended.
What to Expect
- Procedure takes 30–60 minutes
- A ureteric stent may be placed temporarily
- Mild discomfort for 2–3 days
- Follow-up in 1 week
