Chat With Our Experts Types of URSL Procedures
CARE Hospitals offers different URSL approaches tailored to each patient’s specific needs and ensure advanced URSL surgery:
- Rigid Ureteroscopy: Uses a rigid ureteroscope to directly access and remove larger or impacted stones in the lower or mid-ureter
- Flexible Ureteroscopy: Uses a flexible ureteroscope to navigate through the ureter and kidney for smaller, upper ureter, or kidney stones
- Laser Lithotripsy: In this procedure, the doctor uses a laser fibre to break hard stones into smaller fragments for easier removal
- Basket Extraction: In this procedure, a small basket device is inserted through the ureteroscope to grab and remove small, movable stones
Pre-surgery Preparation
Proper preparation is one of the most essential components necessary for the success of URSL surgery. Our surgical team guides patients through detailed preparation steps, including:
- Comprehensive medical and urological evaluation
- Urine and blood tests
- Advanced imaging studies (CT scans, X-rays)
- Medication review and adjustment
- Detailed instructions on fasting and pre-surgery protocols
URSL Surgical Procedure
The URSL procedure at CARE Hospitals typically involves:
- Administration of appropriate anaesthesia (general or spinal)
- Insertion of a thin, flexible ureteroscope through the urethra and bladder into the ureter
- Localisation of the stone using advanced imaging techniques
- Fragmentation of the stone using laser energy or other lithotripsy methods
- Removal of stone fragments using specialised retrieval devices
- Placement of a temporary stent, if necessary, to aid in healing
The average URSL surgery time is usually between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the location and size of the stone.
Post-surgery Recovery
Recovery after URSL is crucial for optimal outcomes. At CARE Hospitals, we provide:
- Expert pain management to ensure comfortable recovery
- Early mobilisation under physiotherapist supervision

Frequently Asked Questions
URSL (Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat kidney stones by fragmenting and removing them using a thin, flexible scope and laser technology.
URSL surgery typically takes between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the size and location of the stone.
While our team takes every precaution, risks may include urinary tract infection, bleeding, ureteral injury (rare), and stent-related discomfort.
Recovery time varies but typically involves a short hospital stay of 1-2 days, followed by a few days to weeks of at-home recovery. Most patients can return to normal daily activities within 1-2 weeks.
URSL is generally considered safe when performed by experienced urologists like those at CARE Hospitals. We take extensive precautions to minimise risks and ensure patient safety.
While some post-operative discomfort is expected, our expert pain management team ensures you are comfortable throughout your recovery using advanced techniques tailored to urological procedures.
URSL is considered a minimally invasive procedure, less invasive than traditional open surgery. However, it still requires proper preparation and recovery.
Return to activities is gradual. Light activities may resume within a few days, but full recovery often takes 1-2 weeks. We provide personalised guidance for each patient’s recovery journey.
Our team provides comprehensive post-operative care and is equipped to handle any complications promptly. We encourage patients to report any unusual symptoms immediately for timely intervention.
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary URSL procedures. Our dedicated insurance support team will assist you in verifying your surgery coverage and understanding your benefits.
URSL is used for smaller stones and involves accessing the stone through the urinary tract, while PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) is used for larger stones and involves a small incision in the back to access the kidney directly. Your urologist will recommend the most appropriate procedure based on your specific case.
