Quick Summary

What It Is

Laser stone surgery is a minimally invasive treatment used to break kidney and ureteric stones into smaller fragments using laser energy, allowing them to be removed safely or passed naturally through urine.

Who It Helps

Patients with kidney stones, ureteric stones, recurrent stone disease, urinary obstruction, or stones that are unlikely to pass on their own.

Cost

The cost depends on the size and location of the stone, the procedure performed, hospital stay, and whether additional treatment such as stent placement is required.

Advanced Laser Stone Surgery Techniques

Before recommending treatment, Dr Rahul Pradhan carefully evaluates the size, location, and complexity of the stone. This helps determine the most suitable procedure for effective stone clearance.

Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)

RIRS is commonly used for kidney stones located within the kidney. A flexible scope is passed through the natural urinary passage to reach the stone, which is then fragmented using laser energy without any external incision.

Ureteroscopy With Laser Lithotripsy

This procedure is used for stones located in the ureter. A small telescope is advanced through the urinary tract to directly visualise and fragment the stone using laser technology.

Flexible Laser Stone Treatment

Advanced flexible endoscopic instruments allow access to difficult-to-reach areas of the kidney, helping treat stones that may otherwise require more invasive surgery.

Treatment of Complex Stones

Some patients may have multiple, recurrent, or difficult stones that require advanced endourological techniques. The treatment approach is individualised based on the patient’s condition.

Conditions Treated with Laser Stone Surgery

$

Kidney Stones

Stones within the kidney can cause persistent pain, bleeding, infection, or obstruction and may require treatment when they do not pass naturally.
$

Recurrent Stone Disease

Patients who repeatedly develop urinary stones may benefit from definitive stone treatment along with preventive measures.
$

Stones Causing Urinary Obstruction

Untreated obstruction can affect kidney function over time and may require timely intervention.
$

Ureteric Stones

Stones trapped within the ureter can block urine flow and lead to severe discomfort. Laser treatment can help remove the obstruction and relieve symptoms.
$

Multiple Stones

Laser technology can be used to treat multiple stones present within the kidney or urinary tract.
$

Infection-Associated Stones

Some urinary stones are associated with recurrent infections and may require complete removal to prevent future complications.
