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.
