URS - Ureteroscopy
URS - Ureteroscopy Treatment
Treatment Range Hospital in Hyderabad offers expert URS (Ureteroscopy) treatment for kidney and ureteral stones. URS is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure used to diagnose and remove stones located in the ureter or kidney. Our experienced urologists use a thin, flexible scope passed through the urinary tract to break or extract stones safely, without the need for any incisions. This approach is effective, safe, and often preferred for patients with small to medium-sized stones or those not suitable for other stone removal techniques.
Before the procedure, we perform detailed imaging tests such as an ultrasound or CT scan to determine the size, location, and number of stones. URS is commonly done under spinal or general anesthesia, and most patients can return home the same day or after a short hospital stay. At Treatment Range Hospital, we ensure patient comfort, safety, and rapid recovery with personalized care before, during, and after the procedure.
If you’re looking for reliable ureteroscopy in Hyderabad, Treatment Range Hospital is one of the best hospitals for minimally invasive stone removal. Our skilled urology team, modern equipment, and ethical treatment practices ensure successful outcomes and long-term relief from urinary tract stone-related symptoms.

Helping you understand Our healthcare
URS is a non-invasive endoscopic procedure used to diagnose and remove stones from the ureter and small stones from the kidney. A thin, flexible or rigid scope is passed through the urethra and bladder into the ureter, allowing direct visualization and treatment of the stone.
The procedure itself is performed under spinal or general anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain. Some discomfort (burning or urgency) may occur for a few days after, especially if a temporary stent is placed.
Most patients return to work and normal activities within 2–3 days. Heavy physical activity, sexual activity, and lifting should be avoided for about 1–2 weeks.
Most side effects are temporary and mild. They may include:
Burning during urination
Blood in urine
Mild flank or abdominal pain
Stent discomfort (if placed)
Rare complications may include infection, ureteral injury, or incomplete stone clearance.
Your urologist may recommend:
Drinking 2–3 liters of water daily
Limiting salt, oxalate-rich foods, and animal protein
Performing a metabolic evaluation to identify the cause of stones
Medications if you’re prone to recurrent stones
