When is This Procedure Necessary?
A cystoscopy for stones with a stent procedure is medically necessary when a patient presents symptoms of urinary stones that require further investigation and treatment. This minimally invasive procedure allows urologists to visualize the bladder and urethra using a thin, flexible instrument called a cystoscope. A stent is placed to facilitate urine flow or aid in the process of stone removal.

What To Expect
A cystoscopy for stones with stent removal involves the insertion of a cystoscope into the urethra and bladder. Once the stone is located, it can be broken up using laser lithotripsy or removed using specialized tools. Following the removal of the stone, a stent may be placed in the ureter to prevent blockage and promote healing. The stent is typically left in place for a few days to weeks, depending on individual circumstances.
After the procedure, patients may experience some discomfort for approximately three days. It is important for patients to drink extra water during this time to stay hydrated. Any abnormal symptoms should be promptly reported to the doctor.
