Does ureter stone need operation

Ureteral stones need surgery, generally and the size of the stones and ureter stricture. If the stone size is relatively small, and ureter is not narrow, the stones can generally pass through the ureter and be discharged to the bladder. This situation does not require surgery. Drink plenty of water and jump more, which is conducive to the discharge of stones. If the ureteral stones are relatively small in size, but the ureter is relatively narrow, the stones cannot be discharged in this case, and surgery is generally required. Clinically, most of the larger stones are stuck in the physiological stricture of the ureter in the process of downward discharge. In this case, the stones cannot continue to be discharged by themselves. Generally, surgery is required. The most common surgery includes extracorporeal lithotripsy or ureteroscopic lithotripsy.
