Kidney Stone

kidneystones

Kidney stones (renal lithiasis) are small, hard deposits that form inside your kidneys. The stones are made of mineral and acid salts. Kidney stones have many causes and can affect any part of your urinary tract — from your kidneys to your bladder. Often, stones form when the urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and stick together.
Passing kidney stones can be quite painful, but the stones usually cause no permanent damage. Depending on your situation, you may need nothing more than to take pain medication and drink lots of water to pass a kidney stone. In other instances, surgery may be needed. Your doctor may recommend preventive treatment to reduce your risk of recurrent kidney stones if you’re at increased risk of developing them again.

Symptoms

A kidney stone may not cause symptoms until it moves around within your kidney or passes into your ureter — the tube connecting the kidney and bladder. At that point, these signs and symptoms may occur:

Kideny Stone Treatment

PCNL

A minimally invasive surgical procedure used for large or complex kidney stones. A small incision is made in the back to remove the stones using a nephroscope.

URS

A procedure where a thin, flexible scope is inserted through the urethra and bladder into the ureter to remove or break kidney stones. Often used for medium-sized stones.

RIRS

A laser-based technique where a flexible ureteroscope is used to break kidney stones inside the kidney without any incision. Suitable for small to medium stones.
