Laparoscopic Ureterolysis
The Laparoscopic ureterolysis procedure involves releasing or freeing the ureter, which is the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder, from surrounding tissues that may be compressing or blocking it. It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure.
How Does The Procedure Work?
In Laproscopic ureterolysis, small incisions are made in the abdomen, and a laparoscope, which is a thin tube with a camera and a light on the end, is inserted to provide a visual guide for the surgeon. Other small instruments are also inserted through the incisions to manipulate tissues and free the ureter.
Why Is Laparoscopic Ureterolysis Recommended?
Laparoscopic ureterolysis may be recommended for patients with ureteral obstruction caused by conditions such as retroperitoneal fibrosis, endometriosis, or scarring from previous surgery.
The procedure is generally considered a safe and effective treatment option with a shorter recovery time, less pain, and fewer complications than open surgery.
