What is Laser Kidney stone Surgery?
Laser kidney stone surgery, also known as laser lithotripsy or laser ureteroscopy, is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat kidney stones. This procedure uses a laser to break down stones in the kidney, ureter, or bladder into smaller fragments that can be passed naturally through the urinary tract.
I was suffering from kidney pain. I sought consultation with Dr. Anil Kumar, who explained everything to me. After that, I underwent laser kidney stone surgery, and all procedures went very well. Dr. Rajesh was also very professional and skilled, and his team was motivated for the surgery. Now, I’m very happy and highly recommend Zymus Hospital.

What is laser kidney stone surgery, and how does it work?
Laser kidney stone surgery, also known as laser lithotripsy, is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat kidney stones. During the procedure, a laser is used to break down kidney stones into smaller fragments, which can then be passed naturally through the urinary tract. This technique offers precision and effectiveness in stone removal while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
Am I a suitable candidate for laser kidney stone surgery?
Laser kidney stone surgery is often recommended for patients with kidney stones that are too large to pass on their own or are causing symptoms such as severe pain, urinary tract obstruction, or recurrent infections. Your healthcare provider at Zymus Hospital will assess your condition and medical history to determine if laser surgery is the right treatment option for you.
What can I expect during the laser kidney stone surgery procedure?
During laser kidney stone surgery at Zymus Hospital, you will be given anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure. A ureteroscope, a thin, flexible tube with a camera, will be inserted through the urethra and bladder into the ureter or kidney. The laser fiber is then used to break down the kidney stones into smaller pieces, which are either removed immediately or allowed to pass naturally through the urinary tract.
What are the benefits of laser kidney stone surgery compared to other treatment options?
Laser kidney stone surgery offers several benefits, including minimal invasiveness, high success rates in stone removal, fast relief from symptoms, short recovery times, and reduced risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery. Additionally, laser surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis, allowing you to return home the same day of the procedure.
What is the recovery process like after laser kidney stone surgery?
The recovery process after laser kidney stone surgery at Zymus Hospital is typically quick and straightforward. Most patients can resume their normal activities within a few days to a week after the procedure, depending on the size and complexity of the stones. Your healthcare provider will provide post-operative instructions, including pain management, hydration, and follow-up appointments, to ensure a smooth recovery process.
