Explanation

A "Right ureteral pyeloscopy" is a medical procedure that doctors use to examine the inside of a person's right kidney and the tube that connects it to the bladder, known as the ureter. This is done using a thin, flexible instrument with a light and a camera, called a pyeloscope. The procedure helps doctors diagnose and treat conditions such as kidney stones, tumors, or infections. It's a minimally invasive procedure, meaning it doesn't require large incisions or cuts.
