Ureteral stone surgery or ureteroscopy (URS) is a minimally invasive procedure to remove stones stuck in the ureter. A thin scope is passed through the urinary tract to locate and remove or break the stone.

The cost depends on whether a simple basket extraction or laser lithotripsy is used. Laser URS costs more but is highly effective for hard or large stones. A ureteral stent may be placed temporarily.

Factors That Affect the Cost

  • Basket extraction vs laser lithotripsy
  • Stone size and location in ureter
  • Need for ureteral stent placement
  • Hospital and urologist fees
  • Day-care vs overnight stay

What Is Typically Included

  • Urologist and anaesthesia charges
  • Procedure room/OT charges
  • Laser fiber if used
  • Ureteral stent if needed
  • Post-procedure medications and follow-up

Frequently Asked Questions

Is URS a painful procedure?

The procedure is done under anaesthesia so it is painless. Mild discomfort and burning during urination is common for a few days after the procedure.

How long is the hospital stay?

URS is often done as a day-care procedure. Patients typically go home the same evening or the next morning.

Is a stent always needed after URS?

Not always. A ureteral stent is placed in about 60-70% of cases to prevent swelling from blocking urine flow. It is removed after 1-2 weeks in a quick OPD procedure.

Disclaimer: The cost ranges mentioned above are approximate and based on typical charges in Bhopal hospitals.
