It is a patient-centered, technology-driven healthcare service provider. Consult our skilled urology surgeons to choose a stress-free, cost-effective, highly advanced kidney stone removal technique before it worsens.
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery : The cutting-edge procedure known as RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is used to treat kidney stones that are 8 mm to 15 mm in size. The anaesthesia professional will first administer a spinal or general anaesthetic based on the patient's request for kidney stone painless treatment. Under spinal anaesthesia, the patient is numb below the waist while undergoing kidney stone surgery. While under general anaesthesia, the patient is fully unconscious.
The urologist then uses an endoscope that is flexible and thin with a tiny laser on the other end. The kidney stone surgeon navigates the patient's body to find the stones using imaging methods. The stones are extracted with forceps, and after being divided into smaller pieces with microscopic lasers, they are removed. Following that, the stone particles are eliminated by the urine.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy:** Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy, often known as ESWL, is a type of shockwave lithotripsy. The doctor uses external shock waves to break down the kidney stone into tiny bits during this minimally invasive technique. A spinal anaesthetic is administered to the patient to lessen the pain after the stones are expelled from the body. It may take several sessions of the conventional technique, ESWL, to completely remove the stones.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy : A minimally invasive treatment for treating kidney stones greater than 15 mm in diameter is called Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL). It is sometimes known as "tunnel surgery" because of the microscopic incisions. Before the surgery, the anesthesiologist administers a general anaesthetic to ensure a pain-free procedure.
The patient will not be conscious during the surgery. The kidney stone surgeon will then make a 1 cm incision on the flank (lower back area). The kidney stone surgeon locates the stones and breaks them up using a nephroscope. The stone can either be flushed out in its whole or, if it is too large, it can be broken up into smaller pieces.
Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy : The patient receives a spinal or general anaesthetic during URSL (Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy). A ureteroscope, a small tube with a camera and laser on the other end, is then inserted into the ureter by the kidney stone surgeon. The stones are located by the camera, and the laser then breaks them into smaller pieces.These are then flushed out while urinating. The urologist inserts stents into the ureter to widen the ureter opening and make it easier for stones to flow through.
