Ureteral stones are stones that form in the ducts that carry urine from the kidney to the bladder or that fall from the kidney.
are the stones that get stuck here. Since the ureter has a very narrow structure, the stones remain in this area,
usually severe flank pain (renal colic), difficulty urinating and bloody urine
symptoms.
Surgery if the stone does not fall out on its own, if there is a risk of infection or damage to the kidney
intervention may be required.
In Which Cases Is Surgery Necessary?

Severe, persistent flank or groin pain
If there is a risk of kidney swelling (hydronephrosis) and loss of function

If there is obstruction in patients with one kidney
Quality of life is severely impaired despite pain relief or medication
