Flexible Digital Uretinoscopic Laser Lithotripsy:
The treatment of kidney stones (kidney stone) is done with the use of modern flexible digital ureteroscopes without incision and bleeding. Under direct vision using a particularly thin instrument and the use of a high-resolution camera, the modern Endourologist approaches the stone without incision bloodlessly through the bladder. Stones up to 2 cm can be effectively treated using the High Power Laser without the need for additional surgery.
The stone is fragmented using the High Power Laser where the aim is to reduce the stone to powder and as far as possible to leave no comparisons. The modern skilled Endourologist is well versed in the use of the Laser and depending on the composition ( hard-soft ureteral stone), the location and size of the stone, he alternates the Laser settings to achieve either Dusting, Fragmentation or Pop Corn (Simultaneous Dusting and Aggregation technique) of the stones with the final goal of completely ridding the patient of the stone burden.
The tool is atraumatic with dimensions of a few millimeters, while the endourologist with the use of the laser makes the patient free of lithiasis while preserving the patient’s ureter and kidney.
The patient in the majority of cases can be discharged the same evening and return to work immediately.
This procedure requires special modern minimally invasive equipment as well as High Power Laser which only structured lithotomy clinics have.
Semi-rigid Ureteroscopic Laser Lithotripsy:
Ureteral stones are treated (stone in the tube that brings urine down from the kidney) is treated with the use of modern ureteroscopes without incision and bleeding. These modern instruments have a special high-resolution camera so that under direct vision the modern endourologist can approach the stone without incision bloodlessly through the bladder.
The stone is then fragmented using the High Power Laser where the aim is to reduce the stone to powder. The modern skilled Endourologist is well versed in the use of the Laser which depending on the composition ( hard-soft ureteral stone), the location and size of the stone alternates the Laser settings to achieve either Dusting, Fragmentation or Pop Corn of the stones with the ultimate goal of completely ridding the patient of the stone burden.
The tool is small and atraumatic, while the specialized endourologist with the use of the Laser makes the patient free of lithiasis with the preservation of the ureter and the patient’s urinary tract.
The patient in the majority of cases can be discharged the same evening and return to work immediately.
This procedure requires special modern minimally invasive equipment as well as High Power Laser which only structured lithotomy clinics have.
