Ureterolithotomy Vaginal

Ureterolithotomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove stones from the ureter. In some cases, a vaginal ureterolithotomy may be necessary, which involves removing stones from the vaginal ureter through an incision in the vaginal wall.

Vaginal ureterolithotomy is an invasive procedure performed in an operating room. Before the operation, the patient must undergo an examination to ensure the presence of stones in the ureter and their location.

The procedure begins by making an incision in the vaginal wall, which allows access to the ureter. The surgeon then removes the stones from the ureter using special instruments.

Once the stones are removed, the ureter is repaired with sutures or stents, which help prevent stones from forming again.

In general, ureterolithotomy is an effective treatment for ureteral stones, but requires careful preparation and an experienced surgeon.
