Kidney stones can cause severe pain, urinary issues, and potential kidney damage if left untreated. Traditional open surgeries are no longer the only option—endoscopic treatment offers a safe, effective, and minimally invasive solution. At Anil Baghi Hospital, we specialize in advanced endoscopic procedures to remove kidney stones with faster recovery and minimal discomfort.
What is Endoscopic Treatment for Kidney Stones?
Endoscopic procedures involve using a thin, flexible camera (endoscope) inserted through the urinary tract to locate and remove stones without large incisions. The most common techniques include:
✅ Ureteroscopy (URS): Used for stones in the ureter or kidney, where a laser is used to break the stone into tiny fragments.
✅ Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL): Best for large kidney stones, where a small incision in the back allows direct access for stone removal.
✅ Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS): A flexible scope is passed through the urethra to treat stones inside the kidney, with laser fragmentation.
Advantages of Endoscopic Kidney Stone Removal:
✔ Minimally Invasive – No major cuts or stitches, reducing recovery time.
✔ Quick Recovery – Most patients resume normal activities within days.
✔ Higher Success Rates – Effective for both small and large kidney stones.
✔ Less Pain & Complications – Compared to traditional open surgery.
✔ Prevents Recurrence – Advanced techniques help remove stones completely.
