  • In this video I talk about ureteroscopy versus extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy for upper ureteral kidney stones. What are the pros and cons of each procedure? How does your surgeon think about these things when recommending one versus the other procedure.
    I hope this helps demystify the process and helps explain why one surgery might be better than another.

    Had a lithotripsy on 05AUG24... 6 mm stone in lower left pole. Had anesthesia... I actually felt fine afterwards with no pain PTL! Subsequent KUB X-ray showed NO signs of a stone. Good luck everyone!!!

    I have a 25mm stone getting removed in 2 weeks with PCNL surgery. Wish I could do something more minor like these.

    I have a 10 cm stone, had 4 lithotripsy sessions so far and they put a stent before the first session. 6 weeks now with the stent, haven't golfed or done much physical work in all that time. Pain in the kidney every single time that I have to go pee!

    Was wondering. Is the pain from urine backing up or the stone scratching its way down.

      I'd like to know this too, mine becomes inflamed bad when i eat a decent meal. I have a 7-8mm stone in ureter. I DO NOT want that camera up my pee hole...

  • @jimmorelli2478

    Some studies support performing ureteroscopy in some patients with just local anesthesia... that is, lidocaine jelly injected into urethra. Granted, lidocaine gel is a lousy numbing agent -- yet despite that, the studies reported that patients did well without more intrusive anesthetics. Just wondering what you think about having a ureteroscopy done sans GA or SA?

      You are nuts if you think someone will accept this without Anasthesia, being put to sleep.
