Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are solid deposits of minerals and acid salts that form when urine becomes highly concentrated. These stones can vary in size and may cause significant pain, especially when passing through the urinary tract. Proper hydration and medical intervention are key to managing and preventing kidney stones.
Procedures
1.PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy):
A minimally invasive procedure used to remove large kidney stones by making a small incision in the back and using a nephroscope to break and extract the stones.
2.URS (Ureteroscopy):
A procedure in which a thin, flexible tube (ureteroscope) is inserted through the urethra to locate and remove kidney stones from the ureters or kidneys.
3.RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery):
A minimally invasive surgery where a scope is inserted into the urinary tract to access and remove stones from within the kidney, often with the help of a laser.
4.Mini Perc:
A less invasive version of PCNL, involving smaller incisions to remove kidney stones, offering quicker recovery and reduced risk of complications.
