The Procedure

Direct Access to Ureteric Stones

URSL is specifically optimized for stones that have moved from the kidney into the ureter. Using a slim, rigid ureteroscope, our surgeons directly reach the stone to deliver laser energy.

This procedure is highly effective for impacted stones that cause severe pain or blockage, offering immediate relief without any external cuts or scars.
