Explanation

Ureteroscopy is a medical procedure used to examine the urinary tract. It involves a doctor inserting a thin, flexible tube with a camera on the end into the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body. This allows the doctor to see and possibly treat problems in the kidneys and tubes that connect them to the bladder. It's often used to find and remove kidney stones or to investigate the cause of urinary tract infections.
