Kidney Stones Removal

The following therapies can be used by a urologist to remove or break up a kidney stone:

  • Shock wave Lithotripsy

Shock wave lithotripsy can be used to shatter the kidney stone into little pieces. The kidney stone’s smaller bits then move through your urine tract. During this outpatient treatment, a doctor can administer anesthetic.

  • Ureteroscopy and Cystoscopy

A cystoscopy is a procedure in which a doctor uses a cystoscope to examine your urethra and bladder to see if you have a stone in your urethra or bladder.

  • Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy

To detect and remove the kidney stone, the doctor utilizes a narrow viewing tool called a nephoscope. Through a small cut in your back, the doctor inserts the tool directly into your kidney. If the kidney stones are large, the doctor may use a laser to break them up into smaller pieces. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is done in a hospital under anesthetic. You may need to stay in the hospital for several days following the procedure.

Following these treatments, your urologist may place a tiny flexible tube in your urinary tract called a ureteral stent to aid urine flow or the passage of a stone. Your doctor will submit the kidney stone or its parts to a lab to determine what type it is once it has been removed. Kidney Stones are treated by a number of doctors in Singapore. All of the treatments are carried out in a medical institution that is licensed. Simply make an appointment with a Kidney specialist Singapore.
