Types of Kidney Stone Treatment Offered:
Dr. Madhukar Gupta offers a full spectrum of kidney stone treatments, including:
- **Medical Management for Small Stones:**
- For smaller stones (typically < 5mm), medical therapy aims to help them pass naturally.
- Includes pain management, hydration, and medications like alpha-blockers to relax the ureter.
- Dietary and lifestyle counseling to prevent future stone formation.
- **Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL):**
- A non-invasive procedure that uses shock waves to break kidney stones into tiny fragments that can be passed naturally in urine.
- Ideal for certain types and sizes of stones located in the kidney or upper ureter.
- **Ureterorenoscopy (URSL):**
- A minimally invasive endoscopic procedure for stones in the ureter (the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder) or lower part of the kidney.
- A thin, flexible or rigid scope is passed through the urethra and bladder into the ureter. Laser energy is then used to break the stone, and fragments are removed.
- Often a day care procedure with quick recovery.
- **Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL):**
- The preferred treatment for large or complex kidney stones (typically > 2 cm) located in the kidney.
- Involves a small incision in the back, through which a nephroscope is inserted directly into the kidney to remove or fragment the stone.
- Highly effective for complete stone clearance.
- **Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS):**
- An advanced, completely scarless endoscopic procedure for kidney stones.
- A flexible ureteroscope is passed through the natural urinary passages up to the kidney. Laser is then used to fragment the stone.
- Excellent for multiple stones, complex anatomy, or when ESWL has failed.
- **Laparoscopic/Robotic Stone Surgery (Rarely Needed):**
- In very specific complex cases, or when other methods are not suitable, minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic techniques may be employed.
