'''Ureteroscopy''' is a medical procedure that involves the use of a ureteroscope to examine the [[ureter]] and [[kidney]]. This procedure is commonly used to diagnose and treat conditions such as [[kidney stones]] and [[ureteral stones]].

==Procedure==
The ureteroscope is a thin, flexible device that is inserted through the [[urethra]] and [[bladder]] to reach the ureter and kidney. The device has a light and a camera at the end, allowing the doctor to see inside the ureter and kidney. The procedure is usually performed under [[general anesthesia]].

==Uses==
Ureteroscopy is used to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions. These include:

* [[Kidney stones]]: Ureteroscopy can be used to locate and remove kidney stones. The doctor may use a special tool to break up the stone and remove the pieces.
* [[Ureteral stones]]: Similar to kidney stones, ureteral stones can also be located and removed using ureteroscopy.
* [[Ureteral stricture]]: This is a narrowing of the ureter that can cause pain and urinary problems. Ureteroscopy can be used to diagnose this condition and to perform a procedure to widen the ureter.
* [[Ureteral tumors]]: Ureteroscopy can be used to diagnose and treat tumors in the ureter.

==Risks==
As with any medical procedure, there are risks associated with ureteroscopy. These may include:

* [[Infection]]: There is a risk of urinary tract infection following the procedure.
* [[Bleeding]]: There is a risk of bleeding, especially if a procedure to break up or remove stones is performed.
* [[Damage to the ureter]]: There is a risk of damage to the ureter, especially if a procedure to widen the ureter or remove a tumor is performed.

==Recovery==
Recovery from ureteroscopy is usually quick. Most people are able to return to their normal activities within a few days. However, some people may experience pain or discomfort for a few days after the procedure.

* [[Nephroscopy]]
