Ureteroscopy (URS) is an investigative procedure for the upper urinary tract. A ureteroscope (a flexible telescope) is passed through the urethra and the bladder and then directly into the ureter. This procedure helps diagnose and cure many problems in the urinary tract, such as kidney stones and urothelial carcinoma of the upper urinary tract.
