Kidney Stone Removal
Empowering Health: Advances in Kidney Stone Removal Techniques
At Universal Hospital, we specialize in kidney stone removal, offering advanced and comprehensive solutions to address kidney stones and restore kidney health. Our experienced urological team is dedicated to providing expert care, ensuring optimal outcomes, and improving the quality of life for our patients.
What are Kidney Stones?
Kidney stones are solid deposits that form in the kidneys, typically composed of calcium, oxalate, and other substances. These stones can vary in size and may cause pain and discomfort as they travel through the urinary tract.
Common Reasons for Kidney Stone Formation
Dehydration: Inadequate fluid intake can lead to concentrated urine, promoting the formation of kidney stones.
Dietary Factors: High intake of certain foods, such as oxalate-rich foods or excessive salt, can contribute to stone formation.
Genetic Predisposition: Some individuals may have a genetic tendency to develop kidney stones.
Underlying Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as hyperparathyroidism or urinary tract infections, may increase the risk of kidney stones.
Kidney Stone Removal Procedures
1. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)
ESWL is a non-invasive procedure that uses shock waves to break kidney stones into smaller fragments, making it easier for them to pass through the urinary tract.
2. Ureteroscopy (URS)
URS involves the use of a thin, flexible tube (ureteroscope) to locate and remove or break up kidney stones. This procedure is particularly effective for stones located in the ureter.
3. Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)
PCNL is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that involves accessing the kidney through a small incision to remove or break up larger kidney stones.
Our Approach
Comprehensive Evaluation
Before recommending kidney stone removal, our urological team conducts a thorough evaluation, including imaging studies, urine analysis, and discussions about the patient’s medical history and symptoms.
Patient-Centered Care
We understand the pain and discomfort associated with kidney stones. Our team ensures open communication, providing patients with the information and support needed to make informed decisions about their care.
Recovery and Follow-Up
After kidney stone removal, our team provides detailed postoperative care instructions, including information on medications, dietary recommendations, and follow-up appointments to monitor recovery and prevent future stone formation.
