#risks of lithotripsy

[alfakidneycare]

As ‘breaking’ and ‘stones’ are the meanings of the two Latin syllables of the word ‘Lithotripsy’, one can easily deduce from the knowledge of it being a medical procedure that lithotripsy is a technique for breaking down of stones in organs liver and gallbladder but particularly in kidneys.

PATHOLOGY OF THE URINARY SYSTEM (aka: STUFF WHAT GOES WRONG WITH YER PISS BEANS)

(AND YER PISS TUBES)

(and the pretty pictures I take of them)

[a warning: this post contains radiographic images and non-graphic description of serious kidney pathologies, including paediatric cancer]

Let's kick off with an old familiar friend! Yeah, I'm talking -

UROLITHIASIS (the humble kidney stone!)

Wanna know something horrific? The biggest kidney stone on record weighed over a kilogram. It was 17 cm across. Just. Imagine. Trying to piss that out…

Urolithiases are formed anywhere among your urinary tracts. They’re commonly found in the kidneys, giving rise to the more common term, renal calculi, or kidney stones.

Urolithiasis occurs when compounds within your urine crystallise. If your urine becomes too acidic, too base, contains too many of these compounds for them to remain in solution, or simply… sits around too long without flowing, it literally petrifies into a solid lump!

Some unlucky souls are just… predisposed to developing them. If you have had a kidney stone in the past, you are far more likely to get another one in the future. There also seems to be a genetic link – so if someone in your immediate family gets kidney stones, you have a higher risk.

Kidney stones typically hang out in the pelvis of your kidney and don’t cause an issue. Until you try to piss them out. Remember our kidney diagram (drawn on a conveniently shaped bean)?

You might notice that the ureters are significantly smaller than the renal pelvis. In other words…

Most renal calculi are made of CALCIUM (oxalate, usually). This is very, very good (for us. Less so for you) because calcium attenuates x-rays – meaning, it glows all pretty and shiny when we take a radiograph!

Here’s a kidney stone on an Abdominal X-Ray!

And a twinkly artefact caused by a kidney stone on Ultrasound!

But the best way to assess urolithiases, is, of course, with CT!

For realsies. We don’t need to inject contrast intravenously, because the kidney stones are (typically) shiny – which cuts down on time and worry, as it means you’re at no risk for having an adverse reaction! So a CT KUB (checking Kidneys, Ureters and Bladder for stones) is basically just a quick tumble in the washing machine (CT scanner), with a lovely clear picture as a result!

Look at these babies!! So sharp!!! So clear!!!!!! So shiny!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s a beautiful matching pair of renal calculi right there – and to make things better, they’re (currently) non-obstructive, so this patient isn’t in suffering The Agonies!

Speaking of The Agonies…

Most kidney stones are passable, albeit with extreme pain.

However, some ain’t going anywhere. Especially staghorn calculi, which, um. One, stags have antlers. Two…

more like a fuckin' MOOSE ANTLER amirite????

But yeah, those buggers aren’t coming out. That’s almost definitely going to require surgery!

Smaller calculi can still cause problems when they become obstructive – i.e., they block the passage of your peepee. They can lead to:

HYDRONEPHROSIS (dilation of the renal pelvis due to retained urine, seen here in the Left kidney [right side of image])

HYDROURETER (dilation of the ureter)

So, what do we do with bothersome calculi? How about some...

EXTRACORPOREAL SHOCKWAVE LITHOTRIPSY (ECSWL, because we love a sexy little acronym here in medworld).

We blast the stone apart with shockwaves, from outside your body! Ultrasound turned up to 11! Unfortunately, it only works on certain densities of stone, and on small stones.

LASER LITHOTRIPSY

(same thing but…. ZIP ZAP LASERZZZZZ]

SURGERY – PERCUTANEOUS NEPHROLITHOTOMY (PCNL).

(I totally haven’t added to this diagram in any way. This is how it works. Trust me.)

LOADS of other stuff can go wrong with The Ol’ Piss Beans

We have:

RENAL CELL CARCINOMA

The most common form of kidney cancer.

For suspected malignancies, we do a CT Urogram that assesses the whole urinary tract. This takes significantly longer than a KUB, but is well worth the results. This is a three-phase scan. We do...

A regular KUB non-contrast scan to check for calculi and to get our baseline Hounsfield Units ('grayness' and densities) for the kidneys. Then we inject contrast in a 'split bolus' - one load immediately, and another roughly 8 minutes in, scanning roughly a minute after the second injection is given. We scan 80 secs after the first contrast bolus is administrered, for the 'nephographic' phase, which enhances the renal cortex & medulla, and makes neoplastic changes and renal masses obvious (see image above). Then we wait 10-ish minutes and scan for the 'excretory' phase, after the contrast has worked its way through your kidneys, to detect 'filling defects' (anything that stops contrast opacification of the ureters) and pathologies related to the urinary collection system.

NEPHROBLASTOMA

This is one of the more common cancers found in kids. Although paediatric cancer is never exactly a happy topic, this cancer is now curable in roughly 90% of cases, thanks to the early removal of kidneys and the possibility of transplants.

Autosomal Dominant (and Recessive) Polycystic Kidney Disease

An inherited renal disease that can cause you to go into End Stage Renal Failure due to the healthy tissue in your kidneys becoming completely overtaken by cysts. As a result, your kidneys can grow more and more, until they practically fill your whole abdomen. 45% of patients will be in ESRF and need dialysis by the age of 60. Thankfully, transplants are an option.

Other commonly encounutered renal pathologies include trauma, which I talked about in my first kidney ramble (linked here!), infections, and more.

I hope you enjoyed this whistle-stop tour of Stuff That Can Go Wrong With The Kidney, And How We Look At Them Gnarly Beans!

....And, um, I spent way too long making this and now need to pee. This is your reminder to go empty that bladder if you need to! Stop those stones!

Laser Treatment for Kidney Stones in India: What You Need to Know

Laser treatment for kidney stones, also known as lithotripsy, is a non-invasive procedure that uses a laser to break up large kidney stones into smaller fragments. This treatment offers several advantages over traditional surgical methods, including faster recovery, reduced complications, high success rates, and minimal pain and discomfort. In India, laser treatment for kidney stones is widely available and has made the country a popular destination for medical tourism.

The procedure involves inserting a laser through a small incision into the ureter, targeting the stone with high-energy pulses to break it into smaller pieces. The patient is typically under general anesthesia during the procedure, which takes about an hour to complete. After a few hours of monitoring, patients are discharged and can resume normal activities within a few days.

India boasts advanced medical facilities and highly skilled professionals trained to perform this procedure with precision and care. Additionally, the cost of laser treatment for kidney stones in India is significantly lower than in many other countries, making it an affordable option for patients seeking quality medical care.

While the procedure carries some risks such as bleeding, infection, urinary tract injury, residual stone fragments, and obstruction, these complications are rare and can be managed with proper medical care.

After the procedure, patients are advised to stay hydrated, take prescribed pain medication if necessary, follow a healthy diet, and adhere to their doctor's instructions for post-procedure care.

In conclusion, laser treatment for kidney stones is a safe and effective procedure available in India, offering patients a quick and comfortable recovery. With its advanced medical facilities and affordability, India has become a popular destination for individuals seeking this treatment. know more click here

Shock Wave Therapy: A Non-Invasive Solution for Pain Relief

Introduction

Pain can take over your life, making even simple activities feel impossible. From chronic aches to injuries, finding effective, long-lasting relief is often a struggle. While painkillers and invasive procedures offer solutions, they’re not without their drawbacks. This is where non-invasive therapies come in, offering innovative ways to alleviate discomfort without harsh side effects.

Shock wave therapy is at the forefront of these treatments. It’s a modern approach to pain relief and healing that uses acoustic energy to stimulate the body’s natural recovery process. By targeting the root cause of pain, this therapy has changed the lives of countless individuals. Let’s delve into what makes shock wave therapy such a revolutionary solution.

What is Shock Wave Therapy?

Definition and Origins

Shock wave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes high-energy sound waves to treat various conditions. Originally developed for breaking up kidney stones (a process known as lithotripsy), its medical applications have expanded significantly over the decades. Today, it’s a trusted method for addressing musculoskeletal pain and other chronic conditions.

The Science Behind It

This therapy involves delivering sound waves to injured or painful areas. These waves penetrate tissues, creating microtrauma that stimulates blood flow, cell regeneration, and the release of healing factors. It’s a process that helps the body repair itself naturally, reducing pain and promoting recovery. Discover how Shock Wave Therapy offers a non-invasive approach to pain relief by visiting https://www.ultimatemedgroup.com/shock-wave-therapy/.

How Does Shock Wave Therapy Work?

Mechanism of Action

Shock wave therapy targets specific areas using a handheld device that emits controlled acoustic energy. The waves reach damaged tissues, breaking down calcifications, reducing inflammation, and enhancing circulation. By focusing on the source of pain, this method effectively addresses underlying issues rather than just masking symptoms.

Different Types of Shock Waves

There are two primary types of shock waves:

Focused Shock Waves: These penetrate deep into tissues, ideal for chronic and severe conditions.

Radial Shock Waves: These disperse energy over a broader area, perfect for superficial injuries and pain relief.

Both types are tailored to meet individual needs, ensuring a customized approach to treatment.

Key Benefits of Shock Wave Therapy

Drug-Free Pain Relief

Shock wave therapy offers a natural alternative to painkillers, reducing the risk of side effects and dependency. It addresses the root cause of discomfort, providing long-lasting relief without the need for medication.

Accelerated Healing

By enhancing blood circulation and stimulating collagen production, this treatment speeds up the body’s healing process. Patients with conditions like tendinitis or ligament injuries often experience quicker recovery times.

Enhanced Mobility

Limited movement due to pain or stiffness can greatly impact quality of life. Shock wave therapy helps restore mobility by breaking down adhesions, reducing inflammation, and improving tissue elasticity. Many patients regain their full range of motion within weeks of starting treatment.

Common Conditions Treated

Musculoskeletal Pain

From plantar fasciitis to shoulder tendinitis, shock wave therapy effectively treats a variety of musculoskeletal issues. It alleviates pain while promoting long-term recovery.

Sports-Related Injuries

Athletes often turn to shock wave therapy to bounce back from injuries like shin splints, Achilles tendinitis, and hamstring strains. Its ability to reduce recovery time makes it a favorite among active individuals.

Chronic Pain Disorders

Conditions like fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome can be debilitating. Shock wave therapy offers hope by reducing trigger points and improving overall pain management.

What to Expect from Treatment

Pre-Treatment Consultation

Before undergoing therapy, patients meet with a healthcare provider to assess their condition. This involves reviewing medical history, identifying the source of pain, and determining whether shock wave therapy is the right solution.

During the Session

A typical session lasts 15-30 minutes. The therapist uses a device to deliver acoustic waves to the targeted area. While some patients describe the sensation as a tapping or mild discomfort, most find it tolerable and even relaxing.

Post-Treatment Care

After treatment, patients may experience mild soreness or redness, similar to post-exercise fatigue. Rest and hydration are recommended, but most people can resume normal activities immediately.

Why Choose Shock Wave Therapy?

Non-Invasive Nature

Surgery can be daunting, with risks of complications and lengthy recovery times. Shock wave therapy offers an effective alternative, requiring no incisions or anesthesia.

Safety and Efficacy

Backed by years of clinical research, shock wave therapy has been proven safe and effective for a range of conditions. Its success rate continues to make it a preferred choice for patients and practitioners alike.

Minimal Side Effects

Side effects are rare and usually mild, such as temporary soreness or swelling. These minor inconveniences are a small price to pay for lasting pain relief and improved mobility.

Technological Advances in Shock Wave Therapy

Modern Devices

Advancements in technology have made shock wave therapy more precise and comfortable than ever. Modern devices allow practitioners to customize treatments, ensuring optimal outcomes for each patient.

Expanding Applications

Beyond musculoskeletal pain, shock wave therapy is being explored for conditions like erectile dysfunction, wound healing, and even aesthetic applications like cellulite reduction. Its versatility continues to grow, expanding its impact on healthcare.

Real-Life Success Stories

Patient Testimonials

Countless patients report life-changing results after undergoing shock wave therapy. From athletes returning to peak performance to individuals finding relief from chronic pain, the stories are as inspiring as they are diverse.

Clinical Evidence

Scientific studies have consistently supported the effectiveness of shock wave therapy, highlighting its ability to reduce pain, improve function, and accelerate healing. This evidence underscores its place as a trusted treatment option.

Is Shock Wave Therapy Right for You?

Ideal Candidates

Shock wave therapy is ideal for individuals suffering from musculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, or limited mobility. It’s particularly beneficial for those seeking non-invasive treatments.

Things to Consider

While highly effective, shock wave therapy isn’t suitable for everyone. Pregnant individuals, those with blood clotting disorders, or individuals with certain implants should consult their healthcare provider before proceeding.

Conclusion

Shock wave therapy is a beacon of hope for those seeking non-invasive pain relief and accelerated healing. By harnessing the power of sound waves, this innovative treatment addresses the root cause of pain, promoting long-term recovery and improved quality of life. If pain has been holding you back, it’s time to explore how shock wave therapy can transform your journey to wellness.

Why Choose Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy? PCNL is the treatment of choice for larger kidney stones (usually greater than 2 cm in size) or stones that are difficult to remove via other methods. Traditional methods like oral medications or shock wave therapy may not be effective for larger stones, making PCNL a preferable alternative. The benefits of PCNL include:

Minimal Scarring: A small incision is made, resulting in minimal scarring.

This is another popular method for treating kidney stones. ESWL uses sound waves to break the stones into smaller pieces, which then pass out through urine. Many of Chennai’s best urologists recommend this method as it is non-invasive and typically offers excellent results.

4. Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic or minimally invasive surgery is used to treat various urological conditions, such as kidney and bladder cancer. It offers a faster recovery time, less pain, and smaller incisions compared to open surgery.

5. UroLift for BPH

UroLift is a newer, minimally invasive procedure used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It provides lasting relief from urinary symptoms without the risks of more invasive surgery. Some of Chennai’s best urologists are trained in this procedure, making it accessible to patients with BPH.

Tips for Maintaining Urological Health

In addition to seeking medical help, you can take several proactive steps to maintain good urological health:

Stay HydratedDrinking plenty of water helps flush out toxins and can prevent kidney stones and UTIs.

Follow a Balanced DietA diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fiber supports urinary health and can reduce the risk of urological conditions.

Exercise RegularlyPhysical activity can improve overall health and reduce the risk of conditions that affect the urinary tract, such as obesity and diabetes.

Avoid Smoking and Limit AlcoholSmoking and excessive alcohol consumption are risk factors for bladder and kidney cancer. Cutting back can improve your urological health.

Practice Safe HygienePracticing good hygiene can reduce the risk of UTIs and other infections. For women, it’s important to wipe front to back and avoid harsh feminine products.

Routine Check-upsRegular check-ups with a urologist can help detect issues early, making them easier to treat. If you are over 50 or have a family history of urological issues, schedule routine visits to monitor your health.

Conclusion: Choosing the Right Urologist in Chennai

Choosing the best urologist doctor in chennai requires careful consideration of the doctor’s qualifications, experience, and patient approach. The top urologists are not only highly skilled but also understand the sensitive nature of urological issues and provide compassionate, patient-centered care.

Choosing the Right Gallbladder Specialist in Singapore: Your Guide to Quality Care

Gallbladder issues, such as gallstones or cholecystitis, can lead to severe pain and potential complications if left untreated. Singapore is known for its highly qualified specialists and advanced healthcare facilities, making it a prime location for gallbladder treatment. This guide provides insight into what gallbladder specialists do, common conditions they treat, and how to choose the right specialist in Singapore.

Understanding Gallbladder Specialists

A Gallbladder Specialist, often a gastroenterologist or hepatobiliary surgeon, focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the gallbladder and biliary system. These specialists use their expertise to handle a range of issues, from gallstones to bile duct problems, ensuring patients receive effective and personalized treatment.

Common Gallbladder Conditions Treated in Singapore

Gallstones: These are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that form in the gallbladder, often causing intense pain and requiring treatment or removal.

Cholecystitis: This is the inflammation of the gallbladder, usually due to gallstones blocking the bile ducts.

Biliary Colic: This occurs when a gallstone temporarily blocks the bile duct, leading to intermittent pain.

Bile Duct Stones: Also known as choledocholithiasis, these stones can block the bile duct, requiring immediate intervention.

Gallbladder Polyps: While usually benign, these growths may occasionally require removal if there’s a risk of cancer.

Treatment Options Available in Singapore

Medications: For small gallstones, certain medications may dissolve them over time.

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): This minimally invasive procedure removes bile duct stones and can also place stents in blocked bile ducts.

Cholecystectomy: The removal of the gallbladder, often performed laparoscopically, is the most common treatment for recurrent gallstone issues and chronic cholecystitis.

Non-Surgical Procedures: In certain cases, shock wave therapy (lithotripsy) may be used to break up gallstones.

Choosing a Gallbladder Specialist in Singapore

Specialization and Experience: Look for a specialist with extensive experience in gallbladder and biliary treatments. Many top specialists in Singapore are hepatobiliary surgeons with expertise in minimally invasive and laparoscopic procedures.

Accreditation: Choose a specialist certified by the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) or affiliated with reputable hospitals known for their gastrointestinal departments.

Hospital Affiliation: Many specialists operate out of top hospitals such as Singapore General Hospital, Mount Elizabeth, and Gleneagles, known for high standards in gallbladder and liver treatment.

Availability of Advanced Procedures: For patients requiring more specialized care, it’s worth considering a hospital or clinic with advanced equipment and expertise in ERCP and laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Costs of Gallbladder Treatment in Singapore

Costs can vary significantly depending on the procedure and hospital. For example:

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: This ranges between SGD 10,000 and SGD 15,000 at private hospitals, while public hospitals may offer lower costs.

ERCP: Costs range from SGD 3,000 to SGD 7,000.

Medisave and insurance plans can typically cover a portion of these costs, making private and public options more accessible to residents.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery times vary based on the treatment. For laparoscopic cholecystectomy, patients typically recover in 1 to 2 weeks, while ERCP may require just a day or two of rest. Following any procedure, patients should maintain a low-fat diet and avoid heavy lifting to promote healing and reduce stress on the digestive system.

Final Thoughts

Gallbladder issues can disrupt daily life, but with expert treatment from a Singaporean gallbladder specialist, patients can manage or resolve these conditions effectively. By selecting a specialist with the right experience and accessing Singapore’s advanced healthcare facilities, patients can look forward to effective treatment and a smooth recovery.

RIRS Surgery for Kidney Stone in PCMC, Pune | Apex Multispeciality Hospital

RIRS (Retrograde Intra-Renal Surgery) is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove kidney stones. It is performed using a flexible ureteroscope, which is passed through the urethra and bladder into the ureter and kidney. Here’s an overview of RIRS surgery for kidney stone removal in PCMC

Retrograde Intra-Renal Surgery (RIRS) can benefit individuals who have kidney stones that are:

Too large to pass on their own: Stones larger than 2 cm in diameter are less likely to pass through the urinary tract without intervention and may require surgical removal.

Causing symptoms: Kidney stones that cause severe pain, recurrent urinary tract infections, or obstruct the flow of urine may need to be removed.

Located in the kidney or upper ureter: RIRS is particularly effective for stones located in the kidney or upper ureter, as it allows for precise targeting and removal of stones in these areas.

Seeking a minimally invasive option: RIRS is a minimally invasive procedure that offers a quicker recovery time and less post-operative pain compared to traditional surgery, making it an attractive option for many patients.

Not suitable for other treatments: Some individuals may not be candidates for other treatments, such as shock wave lithotripsy or percutaneous nephrolithotomy, making RIRS a viable option.

RIRS Procedure:

Preparation: Before the procedure, you may undergo imaging tests to determine the size, number, and location of the kidney stones.

Anesthesia: RIRS is usually performed under general anesthesia, so you will be asleep and feel no pain during the procedure.

Insertion of Ureteroscope: The flexible ureteroscope is inserted through the urethra and bladder into the ureter and kidney.

Stone Removal: Once the ureteroscope reaches the kidney, a laser fiber is used to break up the kidney stones into smaller pieces. These smaller pieces are then removed using a small basket or suction device.

Stent Placement (if necessary): In some cases, a temporary stent may be placed in the ureter to help urine drain from the kidney to the bladder. This is usually removed in a follow-up appointment.

Recovery: After the procedure, you will be monitored in a recovery area until the effects of anesthesia wear off. You may experience some discomfort and blood in your urine, but this is normal and should improve in a few days.

Benefits of RIRS Surgery:

Minimally Invasive: RIRS is minimally invasive, which means it requires smaller incisions and typically has a shorter recovery time compared to traditional surgery.

High Success Rate: RIRS is highly effective in removing kidney stones, with a success rate of over 90%.

Reduced Risk of Complications: RIRS carries a lower risk of complications compared to traditional surgery, such as infection or injury to surrounding tissues.

Shorter Hospital Stay: Most patients can go home the same day or after a short hospital stay.

Comprehensive Kidney Stone Analysis and Treatment in Madurai at Rajeev Hospital

Kidney stones are a common urological issue affecting people across all age groups. These stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form in the kidneys and can cause severe discomfort, pain, and even more serious health issues if left untreated. With a growing number of people in Madurai experiencing kidney stone problems due to factors like dehydration, dietary habits, and a sedentary lifestyle, seeking expert care is critical. Rajeev Hospital, a leading healthcare provider in Madurai, offers advanced and comprehensive kidney stone analysis and treatment to ensure patients receive the best care possible.

Understanding Kidney Stones

Kidney stones vary in size and composition. They can range from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball. While some small stones can pass naturally through the urinary tract, larger stones often require medical intervention. The primary types of kidney stones include:

Calcium Stones: The most common type, these form when calcium combines with other substances such as oxalate or phosphate.

Uric Acid Stones: More common in individuals who consume high amounts of protein, these stones form when the urine becomes excessively acidic.

Struvite Stones: These typically form in response to a urinary tract infection and can grow quickly.

Cystine Stones: Rare, but they form in people with a hereditary disorder called cystinuria, which causes the kidneys to excrete too much of a specific amino acid.

Symptoms and Risk Factors

Kidney stones may not cause symptoms until they move into the ureter, the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder. At this stage, you may experience:

Severe pain in the back, side, or lower abdomen

Pain during urination

Pink, red, or brown urine

Frequent urination or the urge to urinate

Nausea and vomiting

Several factors increase the risk of kidney stone formation. These include a family history of kidney stones, dehydration, high-sodium and high-protein diets, obesity, certain medications, and medical conditions like gout and chronic diarrhea. People living in hot climates, such as Madurai, are particularly susceptible due to increased dehydration risk.

Why Rajeev Hospital is the Right Choice for Kidney Stone Treatment

At Rajeev Hospital, we recognize the pain and discomfort that kidney stones can cause, and we are committed to offering top-tier medical care to patients in Madurai. Our hospital specializes in both non-invasive and minimally invasive treatment options for kidney stones, ensuring a speedy recovery and minimal discomfort for patients.

Advanced Diagnostic Services

Effective kidney stone treatment begins with accurate diagnosis. At Rajeev Hospital, we utilize state-of-the-art imaging techniques such as ultrasound, CT scans, and X-rays to precisely locate kidney stones, determine their size, and assess whether surgery is necessary. Additionally, we perform urine and blood tests to evaluate the composition of the stones and identify underlying conditions contributing to stone formation.

Personalized Treatment Options

Kidney stone treatment at Rajeev Hospital is tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Depending on the size and type of the stone, as well as the patient’s overall health, we offer various treatment methods:

Medical Therapy: For small kidney stones, medication and dietary changes can often help the stones pass naturally. Our urologists prescribe pain relievers, alpha-blockers to relax the muscles in the ureter, and medications to prevent future stone formation.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): ESWL is a non-invasive procedure that uses high-energy shock waves to break kidney stones into smaller pieces, allowing them to pass more easily through the urinary tract. This outpatient procedure is ideal for medium-sized stones.

Ureteroscopy: This minimally invasive procedure involves passing a small scope through the urethra and bladder to the ureter. Once the stone is located, it can be broken up or removed using a laser. Ureteroscopy is effective for stones that are stuck in the ureter or bladder.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL): For larger or more complex stones, Rajeev Hospital offers PCNL, a minimally invasive surgical procedure. During PCNL, a small incision is made in the back to access the kidney directly, and the stone is removed or fragmented.

Laparoscopic Surgery: In rare cases, when other treatments are ineffective, laparoscopic surgery may be necessary to remove large stones. Our experienced surgical team ensures that such procedures are performed with precision and care.

Preventive Care and Counseling

After successful treatment, preventing the recurrence of kidney stones is crucial. Rajeev Hospital provides comprehensive dietary and lifestyle counseling to reduce the risk of future stone formation. We work closely with patients to identify dietary triggers and implement changes that can help maintain kidney health. Additionally, patients with recurring kidney stones are offered personalized medical plans, including medications that can lower the chances of recurrence.

Expert Team of Urologists: Our highly skilled urologists and nephrologists have extensive experience in treating all types of kidney stones.

Advanced Technology: We use the latest equipment and techniques for diagnosis and treatment to ensure successful outcomes.

Patient-Centered Approach: At Rajeev Hospital, we prioritize patient comfort and recovery. Our team provides compassionate care from diagnosis through post-treatment follow-up.

Holistic Care: Beyond treatment, we focus on long-term kidney health with preventive strategies and patient education.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What causes kidney stones? Kidney stones form when certain substances in the urine, such as calcium, oxalate, or uric acid, become concentrated and form crystals. Factors like dehydration, high-sodium diets, and certain medical conditions increase the risk of stone formation.

2. How can I prevent kidney stones? Drinking plenty of water, reducing sodium and animal protein intake, and avoiding foods high in oxalates (such as spinach and nuts) can reduce your risk. Medications may also be prescribed in certain cases to prevent stone formation.

3. Is kidney stone treatment painful? Many treatment methods, such as ESWL and ureteroscopy, are minimally invasive and cause little discomfort. Pain relief medications are provided to ensure patient comfort during and after the procedure.

4. How long does it take to recover from kidney stone surgery? Recovery time depends on the treatment. Patients undergoing ESWL or ureteroscopy typically recover within a few days, while those who have PCNL or laparoscopic surgery may need about a week or two for full recovery.

5. Can kidney stones recur after treatment? Yes, kidney stones can recur. That’s why preventive care, including dietary changes and medication, is crucial to reduce the risk of recurrence. Regular follow-ups at Rajeev Hospital can help monitor and prevent future stones.
