I have a 4 mm stone in my ureter at the ureterovesical junction. I am choosing to go with ureteroscopy not the lithotripsy (shock waves). I read that the risks of lithotripsy could be the development of high blood pressure or diabetes. I'm scheduled for out patient surgery on Fri, October 13th. Did your dr. disclose the risks to you and if so what were the warnings. Thanks
