Direct Access to Ureteric Stones
URSL is specifically optimized for stones that have moved from the kidney into the ureter. Using a slim, rigid ureteroscope, our surgeons directly reach the stone to deliver laser energy.
This procedure may be used for impacted stones that cause severe pain or blockage, with no external incision.
