Notes on Kidney Stones
Research Links
- If a stone is able to make the journey through the ureter and reach the bladder, then the hard work is done, and the stone is typically passed to the outside easily through the urethra. The diameter of the urethra is four times larger than the diameter of the ureter, so typically the stone passes through without difficulty. Many patients urinate the stone to the outside without being aware that they have done so.
- The place were the ureter passes over the illiac artery can be a sticking point.
