Common conditions treated here
Stone disease
Masses of calcium oxalate which form in the kidneys and are the result of the buildup of dissolved minerals on the inner lining are known as kidney stones. Small stones may pass without showing any symptoms however if the stone grows more than 5 mm in size it can cause a blockage causing severe pain in the lower back or abdomen. Drinking fluids can help dissolve small stones if this is not effective medication could help. Larger stones might require various medical procedures which may require:
- PCNL – Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used for larger or remotely located kidney stones. It is a safe and effective way to remove larger stones or remotely located kidney stones.
- URS / URSLC (URS Stone Removal) –Ureteric stones are removed by passing an ureteroscope through the urethra and bladder. The stone is removed with special instruments or the stone is fragmented
- LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY – Laparoscopic surgery could be an option in certain cases depending on the size and location of stones, existing diseases, etc.
