Ureter is the tube, which has the function of draining out the urine passing from the kidney towards the bladder. The surgery makes use of minimally invasive procedure.

  • Stones in the kidneys

The patient has to take one bottle containing Magnesium Citrate, in the evening before the day of the surgery. Clear liquids can be taken from before 24 hours of the surgery.

Laparoscopic pyeloplaty surgery is initiated with the general anesthesia. Typically, the surgery takes about 3 to 4 hours of duration. Three small incisions, each of 1cm are made on the abdomen. Through these incisions, telescope is initially inserted and later some small instruments are also inserted for repair of the narrow or block.

A ureteral stent, which is a small plastic tube is placed in the ureter, after the repair of the block is performed. The arrangement of the stent helps to drain easily from the kidney and also to bridge the repair of the pyeloplasty. The stent is to be removed after 4 weeks of duration at the doctor’s office. Another arrangement of small drain is done at the flank, so that any of the fluid present at the surroundings of the kidney can be drained away.

      I came to see the doctor in WHE and he introduced me to the stem cell treatment. They took the stem cells from my bone marrow and fat and he injected them and it has been fabulous. I don’t have the aches and pains that I used to suffer from on a constant day to day basis. I would highly recommend it to anybody who’s looking for a remedy to their back pain and their aching joints.
