Are you doing ureteroscopic dilatation and catheterization or laparoscopic plastic surgery?

Both surgeries are performed under general anesthesia and you will not feel any pain during the surgery. A urinary catheter will be left in place after surgery. The process of removing the catheter is not very comfortable, but most people can tolerate it. In both surgeries, the D-J tube will be left in place and removed after a period of time using a cystoscope. This process is a bit painful. If you can't tolerate it, you can ask the doctor for a painless cystoscopy.

Laparoscopic surgery will also leave a negative pressure drainage tube in place, which also needs to be removed after surgery. This process is slightly more painful than an injection. In addition, the sting of the wound caused by the disinfectant during dressing change is relatively slight.

Generally speaking, the postoperative pain of minimally invasive surgery is significantly less than that of traditional open surgery.
