Kidney and ureter stone extraction

What is Kidney & Ureter Stone Removal?

This procedure aims to remove stones that have formed in the kidney or ureter, which may obstruct urine flow and cause complications. It is recommended for patients experiencing:

• Severe pain in the kidney or ureter due to stones.
• Urinary tract obstruction caused by large stones.
• Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to stone presence.
• Failure of non-surgical treatments to break or pass the stones.

How is the Procedure Performed?

• The procedure can be performed using minimally invasive techniques such as endoscopy or laser lithotripsy, depending on stone size and location.
• In some cases, open surgery may be required for larger stones.
• Tiny instruments are inserted through the urethra or a small incision in the skin to safely remove the stone.
• The procedure is done under general or regional anesthesia, with a short hospital stay for monitoring if necessary.
