Ureteral calculus: basket extraction without scarring
In this video, Dr. Sébastien Dominique, urological surgeon in Paris, shows you under real-life conditions a flexible ureteroscopy to treat a kidney stone causing pain. The procedure is performed via the natural route, using a camera measuring less than 3 mm and a laser fiber. Objectives: locate the stone, fragment/pulverize it, remove fragments for analysis, then drain the kidney temporarily to facilitate evacuation of debris and regression of post-operative inflammation.
