Answer:
See explanation below.
Step-by-step explanation:
A nephrolith is a stone that often results from too much calcium in the urine. The calcium builds up into a stone. Sizes can range from very small to large enough to cause pain or obstruction.
One treatment is to use a scope to observe the stone. The scope is inserted in the ureter and ideally the entire stone can be removed by the scope process for examination and analysis. The composition of the stone is important so that a reason for the formation of the stone can be determined and treated. If the stone cannot be removed, then it might be able to be broken up during the ureteroscope process. Then it could be excreted during urination, usually accompanied by treatment for pain and relaxation of the ureter.
