About Ureteric Dilatation

Ureteric dilatation is a minimally invasive urological procedure performed to widen a narrowed or obstructed ureter, the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder. Typically conducted by a urologist using cystoscopy or ureteroscopy, the procedure involves gently inserting and inflating a small balloon or placing a temporary stent to expand the constricted segment. This restores normal urine flow, relieves pressure on the kidney, and alleviates associated symptoms like pain and recurrent infections. It is a common solution for strictures caused by kidney stones, scarring, or congenital issues, offering a targeted approach to preserve kidney function with minimal recovery time.
