The ureter runs from each kidney to the bladder and squeezes in slow waves to push urine along even against gravity. A kidney stone can become stuck inside a ureter, causing intense pain until it passes or is removed. Surgeons take particular care around the ureter during operations near the pelvis, since injuring it can lead to serious complications.
