[00:00:11]Both ureteral openings are inspected.

[00:00:16]To proceed to a ureteroscopy, a guide wire is threaded through the cystoscope into the ureter.

[00:00:24]A ureteroscope is guided by the wire in the ureter to the stone.

[00:00:30]The stone may be broken into smaller pieces using a laser, which are then held by graspers, and gently [music] pulled out.

[00:00:46]Next, a stent may be placed using a scope. The stent is guided into the ureter, then gently passed up to [music] the kidney.
