Kidney stone laser treatment, also known as lithotripsy or laser lithotripsy, is a small invasive procedure used to break down kidney stones into smaller size. The broken pieces are then easily passed out of the body through urine.
During kidney stone laser treatment, a specialized instrument called a ureteroscope is inserted into the urinary tract. A laser fiber is then passed through the ureteroscope to deliver focused energy to the stone, breaking it into tiny pieces. These small pieces are usually expelled from the body without the need for surgery. Kidney stone laser treatment is preferred for its effectiveness and comparatively lower risks than traditional surgical approaches.
No external incisions are involved in kidney stone laser surgery, reducing the risk of complications and infections. Urologists highly prefer laser treatment due to its precision, which allows for the targeted treatment of even large or hard-to-reach kidney stones.
