Stone Surgery (Laser & Minimal Cut)
Stone surgery with laser and minimal cut techniques offers a precise, pain-minimized solution for removing kidney, ureteric, and bladder stones. Using advanced endoscopic and laser technology, these procedures ensure faster recovery, minimal scarring, and excellent outcomes — all while preserving kidney function and patient comfort.
Advanced Treatments
- Laser Lithotripsy (RIRS / URS) – Uses a high-energy laser to break stones into fine fragments without any external incision.
- PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) – A minimally invasive technique involving a small incision to remove large or complex kidney stones.
- Mini PCNL & Micro PCNL – Modern refinement of PCNL using smaller instruments for reduced pain and quicker recovery.
- Ureteroscopy (URS) – Endoscopic removal of ureteral stones with a flexible scope, avoiding major surgery or cuts.
- ESWL (Shock Wave Lithotripsy) – Non-invasive treatment that uses focused sound waves to break stones for natural passage.
Symptoms & Causes

Prevention & Post-Surgery Care
- Stay well-hydrated — drink adequate water daily to prevent stone formation
- Limit salt, processed food, and animal protein in your diet
- Follow a balanced diet as per your nephrologist’s guidance
