Kidney Stone Treatment Services – Our Approach to Treatment

Kidney stones can be managed, and at our Delhi centre we stick to providing a wide range of services useful for managing simple to complex kidney stones. Here’s how we approach treatment

1. Initial Consulting & Thorough Diagnosis

We look into factors such as the stone location, size, and health of the patient and accordingly clinically evaluate the condition through x-ray, ultrasound, CT, metabolic assessment, and planning based on the position of the stone, size, and overall health of the patient. 

2. Less Invasive Stone Removal

The most effective laser-based kidney stone removal procedures we perform here are:

• PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) : This is a small incisive stone removal from the back to eliminate complex kidney stones. The surgery requires the creation of a tract in the kidney and the insertion of a scope for stone removal or a stent. This procedure is effective for removing stones that are more than 2cm long. Recovery is rapid when compared to traditional kidney stone removal. 
• Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) : This procedure is performed for removing stones from the kidney or ureter. A flexible scope is used through the urinary tract to break the stones into small pieces through laser light. This tube is thin. This surgery is good for multiple different-sized stones. 
• Urinary Tract Stone Treatment : This surgical procedure is used if there are multiple large-sized kidney stones causing infection or blockage with difficulties to pass down. Precisely applicable for stone sizes greater than 5 mm. Often, the symptoms are vomiting, blood in the urine, and pain. 
• Specialised Urology Services : For patients who have pre-existing urology-oncology, andrology, and transplant issues, we provide consultation and treatment. 
• Urgent Care Services : For patients experiencing uncontrollable pain, infection, blood in the urine, and any sort of blockage, at the clinic we have provision to provide round-the-clock assistance for any sort of emergency. 
• Non-Invasive Treatment – As the name suggests, this type of kidney stone treatment is non-surgical and not painful.When the stones formed in the kidney are less than 5 mm and have the potential to pass with the help of painkillers and with the consumption of sufficient water, this method works. 
• Shockwave Lithotripsy – Where there are large stones formed, an attempt to break these stones into tiny pieces is made with the help of sound waves. It is the vibration facilitating fragmentation. 
• Alpha-Blocker Therapy – This is yet another non-surgical method of treating kidney stones. It uses medication such as calcium channel blockers and alpha-blockers to enable stones to slowly pass out of the urethra.

We suggest you book a consultation to clear your doubts regarding a report or evaluation of the pain, symptoms, or recurrence of kidney stones, if any.

Types of Kidney Stones Treated

Assessing the type of kidney stone is essential for choosing a good treatment plan. When factors such as poor diet habits, lack of hydration, or poor metabolic conditions affect the urinary tract, resulting in crystalizing it. 

At modern urology centres, experts evaluate and manage different types of stones such as the following:

Calcium-Based Stones

These stones are the most commonly witnessed kidney stones and form due to oxalate foods, too much sodium intake, or lack of water in the body. 

Urate Stones

This type of kidney stone occurs due to the presence of excess uric acid in an individual’s urine. Typically, people who are on high-protein diets and have gout struggle with this type of stone. In many cases, through medication and change in diet, stones possibly dissolve. 

Infection Stones

These stones form due to continuous urinary infections, and they tend to grow fast. Medically looking into this concern is essential and helps get rid of them. 

Cystine Calculi

This type of stone is not seen as much, and it results in metabolic disorders that need to be effectively managed in the long run. These stones can be treated at the right time after seeing a good urologist.
