What Is Kidney Stone Laser Treatment?
Kidney stone laser treatment, medically known as laser lithotripsy, is a modern, minimally invasive procedure used to break kidney stones into small fragments so they can be passed naturally through urine. This advanced technique offers quick pain relief and faster recovery compared to traditional surgical methods.
At Prabhakar Bhurke Clinic, patients receive comprehensive evaluation and expert guidance under the care of a super specialist nephrologist, ensuring safe and effective kidney stone management.
When Is Laser Treatment Recommended?
Laser treatment is usually advised when:
-
Stones are large or cannot pass naturally
-
Medications have failed to relieve symptoms
-
Recurrent kidney stones are present
-
Stones are causing severe pain, infection, or obstruction
-
There is a risk of kidney damage
A detailed evaluation helps determine whether laser treatment is the best option for each patient.
How Does Laser Stone Treatment Work?
During the procedure:
-
A thin scope is passed through the urinary tract
-
A laser is used to break stones into tiny fragments
-
Fragments are either removed or passed naturally in urine
