A procedure to gain visual access to the ureter. Similar to cystoscopy, ureteroscopy utilizes a longer fiberoptic rigid or flexible scope to examine the lumen of the ureter primarily for stones lodged along its course. Stones are fragmented using a variety of modalities including Holmium laser lithotripsy. Smaller stones can be retrieved used a collapsible basketing device.
