URSL Surgery for Ureteral Stones in Vijayawada
Expert ursl guidance by Dr. D. Sreedhar at Shreedhar Kidney Care Center, Vijayawada.
URSL Surgery for Ureteral Stones in Vijayawada is an important service for patients in Vijayawada who need reliable, medically responsible urology guidance. Ureteroscopic lithotripsy, often called URSL, is an endoscopic procedure for stones in the ureter, the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. A small scope is passed through the natural urinary passage to locate and fragment the stone. At Shreedhar Kidney Care Center, patients can consult Dr. D. Sreedhar, MBBS, MS, M.Ch (Urology), FMAS (SGH Singapore), for evaluation and treatment planning based on symptoms, examination and test results rather than guesswork or repeated self-medication.
Treatment recommendations are based on the location and size of the stone. While URSL is commonly used for ureteric stones, patients with bladder stones may be advised to undergo PCCL surgery when clinically appropriate.
