The Various Procedures are :
PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) Mostly done for large sized stones lying in the kidneys or upper part of ureters. Renal stone is approached through a small (less then 1 cm.) incision in the flanks and is broken into small fragments by using a specialized probe and is thus removed.
URS (uretroendosopic stone removal) No incision is given- It is mostly used for the stones lying in the middle or lower part of the ureter and the endoscope is introduced through the urinary opening after giving anaesthesia to the patient. A probe is introduced which on touching the stone powders it into small fragments.
ESWL (Extra corporal Shockwave lithotripsy) Lithotrypsy is a procedure mostly adopted for smaller renal and upper ureteric stones. The patient is made to lie down under the lithotrypter, stones are visualized under the xrays and shockwave beams are focused on the stone which break it into small fragments to be drained out later on. One has to undergo one to three sittings of about 30-45 minutes each depending upon the size and location of the stone. It is completely non-invasive (in which no cuts are given) and painless procedure requiring no admission.
