Renal Stone Removal Procedure
Renal stone removal involves various treatments based on the size, location, and type of kidney stones. One common method is extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), which uses sound waves to break stones into smaller fragments that can be passed through urine.
Another approach is percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), which is reserved for larger stones. In this procedure, a small incision is made in the back to allow access to the kidney, where the stone is removed or broken down using specialized instruments.
For patients with smaller stones or stones located in the ureter, ureteroscopy may be used. This minimally invasive procedure involves passing a thin, flexible scope through the bladder and into the ureter to locate and remove the stone or fragment it using laser energy. Post-operative care often involves hydration and sometimes the use of medications to help expel any remaining stone fragments. These procedures minimize complications while promoting quicker recovery.
