KIDNEY STONE TREATMENT

Conditions That Require Kidney Stone Treatment
Kidney stone treatment is recommended for patients experiencing pain, urinary obstruction, or recurrent infections caused by stones that are too large to pass naturally or are causing complications to kidney health.
Severe Flank Pain
Intense pain in the back or side caused by a stone obstructing the ureter or renal pelvis.
Blood in Urine
Haematuria caused by stones irritating or damaging the lining of the urinary tract.
Urinary Obstruction
Blockage of urine flow leading to swelling of the kidney and risk of permanent damage.
Recurrent UTIs
Repeated urinary tract infections triggered by stones harbouring bacteria within the kidney.
Large or Staghorn Stones
Stones too large to pass naturally or that fill the renal collecting system requiring surgical removal.
Recurrent Stone Formation
Repeated episodes of kidney stones requiring metabolic evaluation and long-term prevention.
Understanding Kidney Stone Treatment Options
Kidney stone treatment is selected based on the size, location, composition, and number of stones, as well as the patient's overall health. India's leading urology centres offer access to the full range of modern stone treatment techniques, from non-invasive shockwave therapy to advanced keyhole surgery.
ESWL (Shockwave Lithotripsy)
Non-invasive procedure using focused shockwaves to break stones into small fragments that pass naturally through the urinary tract.
Ureteroscopy (URS)
A thin telescope is passed through the urethra to locate and laser-fragment stones in the ureter or kidney without any incisions.
PCNL (Keyhole Surgery)
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy uses a small back incision to remove large or complex stones directly from the kidney.
Medical Expulsive Therapy
Medication and dietary management to facilitate natural passage of small stones and prevent future stone formation.
