What does the ureteroscopy with holmium laser lithotripsy procedure involve?
This minimally invasive procedure uses a thin, flexible ureteroscope passed through the urinary tract to visualize the stone. A holmium laser fiber is then introduced to fragment the stone into small, passable pieces (typically <2 cm). The procedure is performed under general or spinal anesthesia and usually takes 30–90 minutes, with most patients discharged within 1–2 days.
