Endourology & Stone Management
Endourology is a minimally invasive branch of urology that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract conditions, especially kidney, ureter, and bladder stones. Using advanced endoscopic techniques, stone disease can be treated effectively with minimal pain, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stay.
Stone management is planned based on the size, location, and type of stone, as well as the patient’s symptoms and overall health. Modern endourological procedures allow stones to be removed or broken without large incisions, ensuring safe and precise treatment.
Endourology & Stone Management Services Include:
- Ureteroscopy (URS): Endoscopic removal or fragmentation of stones from the ureter using laser technology.
- Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS): Minimally invasive laser treatment for kidney stones through the natural urinary pathway.
- Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL): Treatment for large or complex kidney stones through a small incision in the back.
- Bladder Stone Removal: Endoscopic procedures to safely remove stones from the urinary bladder.
- Stone Prevention & Follow-Up: Evaluation of stone causes, dietary advice, and long-term monitoring to reduce recurrence.
Endourology and advanced stone management provide effective relief from stone-related pain and complications. With modern minimally invasive techniques and proper follow-up care, patients can return to normal activities quickly and reduce the risk of future stone formation.
