Normally, it takes about 1-2 hours for ureteral stone surgery, but the specific time varies from person to person.
Ureteral stone is a common disease in urology, which is usually caused by the stone formed in the kidney falling into the ureter in clinical practice. Patients may experience symptoms such as abdominal pain in the waist, nausea, vomiting, and may also be accompanied by hematuria. If the patient's condition is relatively mild and there are no obvious symptoms of discomfort, they can take medicine such as lithagogue granules under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, they need to drink more warm water to promote metabolism in the body, which is conducive to physical recovery.
However, if the condition cannot be improved through oral medication or is more severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital promptly for treatment under the operation of professional doctors, such as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy. These two methods have certain effects on the treatment of ureteral stones, and they are less traumatic and recover faster after surgery, so the surgery can be completed in about 1 hour. But if it is an open surgery, it may take about two hours to finish.
It is recommended that patients should pay attention to reasonable dietary habits in daily life, avoid eating high-purine and spicy food such as seafood and chili to avoid worsening the condition. In addition, they should also pay attention to rest more, ensure enough sleep time, and minimize staying up late for a long time.
