What Are Kidney Stones?
Kidney stones are hard mineral and salt deposits that form inside the kidneys. They develop when urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals like calcium, oxalate and uric acid to crystallize.
Stones can vary in size — from tiny crystals that pass naturally to large stones that block the urinary tract and cause severe pain.
Common Symptoms of Kidney Stones
- Severe back or flank pain
- Blood in urine (hematuria)
- Burning urination
- Nausea and vomiting
- Frequent urge to urinate
- Fever with urinary infection
If you experience these symptoms, early consultation with a kidney stone specialist in Lucknow is important to prevent complications.
Advanced Kidney Stone Treatment Options
1. RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery)
RIRS is a modern laser procedure where a flexible scope is passed through the natural urinary passage to reach the kidney stone. The stone is fragmented using laser energy and removed without any incision.
Benefits:
- No external cuts
- Minimal pain
- Short hospital stay
- Faster recovery
2. PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy)
PCNL is recommended for large kidney stones. A small keyhole incision is made in the back and the stone is removed using specialized instruments.
Mini-PCNL offers smaller incision size with reduced bleeding and quicker healing.
3. Laser URS (Ureteroscopy)
Laser URS is used for stones located in the ureter. A thin scope is inserted through the urinary passage and the stone is broken using laser energy.
Advanced options such as Laser URS & RIRS and PCNL Surgery are used for stone removal.Why Choose Dr Manmeet Singh for Kidney Stone Treatment?
