Ureteric Stenting is done under general anaesthesia. During the procedure, Dr Singh will insert a stent (a thin tube) into the ureter with the use of a special instrument known as a cystoscope. The cystoscope has a camera attached to its end, allowing Dr Singh to view the inside of the body and make sure that the stent is placed in the correct location. The stent resolves obstructions in the urine flow between the kidneys and the bladder and relieves any uncomfortable symptoms associated with the condition. You may have a nephrostomy catheter placed in your kidney to drain urine externally.

Ureteric Stenting is performed when long-term drainage is needed. The procedure is more favourable than nephrostomy, and it may have a significant effect on your quality of life. The stent must be changed every 3 to six months.

After surgery, you will be taken to the recovery room where you will be monitored until the anaesthesia wears off. You may feel some pain, and Dr Singh will prescribe medication for your comfort. Before being discharged, a nurse will give you instructions on how to take care of yourself when you are at home. It's essential that you drink more water than usual for the first 24 hours after surgery. You may feel a pulling sensation when you urinate. You might also experience frequent urination and pains in your pelvic region.
