Struggling with a kidney stone in the ureter? Experiencing pain due to ureteral calculi or obstruction? At Curis Life Clinic, Andheri West, we offer advanced and safe solutions like ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) and laser ureteroscopy to treat ureteral stones effectively and comfortably.
Our expert urologists perform the URSL procedure using modern, non-invasive techniques for quick relief and faster recovery. Whether it’s a small stone or a stubborn one blocking the ureter, Curis Life is your trusted destination for stone removal from ureter in Andheri West.
What is URSL Surgery?
URSL (Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy) is a minimally invasive urology procedure where a thin, flexible ureteroscope is inserted through the urinary tract to locate and treat stones lodged in the ureter. Once the stone is located, laser lithotripsy breaks it into smaller fragments for removal or natural passage.
This method, also known as endoscopic ureteral stone removal, avoids external incisions and is often done under general or spinal anesthesia with a short recovery time.
Symptoms of Ureteral Stones
- Sharp lower back or side pain (flank pain)
- Blood in urine (hematuria)
- Frequent or painful urination
- Nausea and vomiting
- Pain radiating to the lower abdomen or groin
- Ureteral obstruction or urinary retention

What Causes Ureteral Stones?
Stones in the ureter often begin in the kidney and travel downward. Factors contributing include:
- Dehydration and low fluid intake
- High sodium or animal protein diets
- Genetics or metabolic disorders
- Recurring urinary tract infections
- Sedentary lifestyle or certain medications
Our team focuses on both stone clearance and long-term prevention with personalized plans.
Diagnosis and Planning for URSL at Curis Life
Before surgery, our expert urologist in Andheri West will recommend:
- Imaging tests like CT KUB, X-rays, or ultrasound
- Blood and urine analysis to assess infection and kidney function
- Planning for anesthesia and ureteral stent if necessary
The detailed workup ensures precision during the URS procedure and effective laser stone fragmentation.
