What kind of anesthesia is given for lower ureteral stone surgery?

The surgical procedure for lower ureteral stones is ureteroscopic lithotripsy and lithotripsy, which requires general anesthesia. The ureter is the most common site for urinary stones, and its clinical manifestations are more obvious, with significant renal colic. For ureteral stones that cannot be treated with medication, surgical treatment is often required, and the usual procedure is transurethral ureteroscopic lithotripsy. Because the procedure is a transurethral approach, it can cause significant discomfort to the patient and often requires general anesthesia. A ureteral stent is placed in the patient’s ureter after the procedure and is usually removed two weeks after the procedure, at which time it is still removed via the urethra but can be anesthetized with local infiltration anesthesia. If the patient is uncomfortable, it is important that he or she be seen for examination and early treatment.
