Hello
Thanks for query
Stone in the mid ureter can be removed by many methods. one URS,in this uretreoscope is inserted through penis ,urinary bladder & affected ureter ,stone is broken into pieces & it comes out along with urine . Lithotripsy is the another method in which stone is broken in to pieces & itcomes out slowly along with the urine. Open surgery now a days not prefered is the another option. you can choose either of the two lithotripsy or URS.
Hope I have answered your question well to your satisfaction. Wish you speedy complete recovery at the earliest.
