Introduction
Kidney stones can cause severe pain, urinary blockage, and repeated infections if not treated properly. Modern medical technology now offers laser stone surgery, a minimally invasive and highly effective procedure for removing kidney and ureter stones. At Prabhakar Bhurke Clinic, a super specialist nephrologist provides advanced laser treatment for kidney stones with a focus on faster recovery and long-term kidney health.
What Is Laser Stone Surgery?
Laser stone surgery is a minimally invasive procedure in which a laser is used to break kidney stones into tiny fragments. These fragments are either removed or passed naturally through urine.
The procedure is commonly performed using:
- Ureteroscopy (URS)
- Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)
How Laser Stone Surgery Works
- A thin scope is inserted through the urinary tract
- The stone is located using a camera
- A laser fiber breaks the stone into small pieces
- Fragments are removed or allowed to pass naturally
No large cuts or stitches are usually required.
