Ureteroscopic lithotripsy costs around $10-15,000 dollars. Ureteroscopic lithotripsy is a procedure that removes stones from the kidneys or ureters by breaking them up and removing them through the use of a piece of medical equipment that is about 3 millimeters in size and placed into the ureter through the bladder as well as the urethra. The cost is usually around $10,000 when a patient undergoes ureteral stone treatment; it may cost around $15,000 when kidney stones are treated. The cost of ureteroscopic lithotripsy varies slightly depending on the level of hospital chosen and the local consumption level; patients should increase the amount of water consumed after the procedure to promote metabolism and increase the amount of urine passed, which can be conducive to the expulsion of residual stones after the procedure as well as recovery. When undergoing ureteroscopic lithotripsy, it is important to choose a regular hospital to have the procedure performed by a professional doctor, and consult the attending physician for specific costs.
