Business Description
Description:Your ureters are tubes inside your body that drain urine (pee) from your kidneys to your bladder. If one of your ureters is blocked, your urine won’t drain properly. When this happens, your kidney fills with urine and swells. This is called hydro nephrosis. It can be caused by a tumor pushing on your ureter, kidney stones, or scar tissue. If your kidney remains blocked for a long period of time, it can become damaged. If both of your ureters are blocked, this will cause both of your kidneys to become weak and can place you at risk for kidney failure. Blocked kidney(s) require ureteral stent placement. Before your procedure before your procedure, your nurse will teach you about what to expect during your ureteral stent placement. They’ll also give you information about how to get ready for your procedure. Be sure to follow the instructions they give you. Call your healthcare provider’s office if you have any questions. During your procedure on the day of your procedure, a nurse will place an intravenous (IV) line in one of your veins. You’ll get fluids through your IV. You’ll also get medication to help make you more comfortable during your procedure. To place the stent, your healthcare provider will first insert a cystoscope (thin, metallic tube with a camera) through your urethra (the small tube that carries urine from your bladder to outside your body) and into your bladder. They’ll use the cystoscope to find the opening where your ureter connects to your bladder. Once they can see this opening, your healthcare provider will thread a ureteral stent through the cystoscope and into your ureter. After the stent is in place, the cystoscope will be removed. After your procedure in the hospital: after your procedure, you’ll be taken to the recovery area, called the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). A nurse will check your pulse, breathing, and blood pressure regularly. If you feel any pain, your healthcare provider may prescribe pain medication to help you feel more comfortable. At home: it’s important to drink more water than usual for the first 24 hours after your procedure. Drink 8 to 10 (8-ounce) glasses of water. Don’t do any physically demanding activities for the first 24 hours after your procedure. Examples of demanding activities include lifting objects heavier than 15 pounds (6.8 kilograms) or any activities that use your abdominal muscles (abs). After 24 hours, you can go back to doing your normal activities. Call us at (347) 434-9077.
