What are the side effects and recovery time for ureteroscopic stone removal?
Most people recover from ureteroscopic stone removal within a few days. Symptoms afterwards can include urinary urgency and frequency, and blood in the urine can be present for a few days. On occasion, when there’s a need to leave a ureteral stent in place, the stent is left for a few days and then is removed in the office setting. The stent, however, can be mildly to moderately uncomfortable, exacerbating those symptoms that people would normally get after the ureteroscopic stone removal.
