Kidney stones are small, hard rocks that are made within the kidneys. Sometimes kidney stones cause no symptoms. Other times, they cause blood in the urine and/or severe pain in the side or back. When kidney stones are large or there is more than one, they may block the flow of urine.

There are four types of stones:

  • Calcium Stones: people who form this type of stone either have too much of one type of three chemicals in their urine or not enough of another. In particular, they have either too much calcium, oxalate, or urate in their urine, or too little citrate. Eating too much salt may cause too much calcium to stay in the urine A few patients will have kidney stones from an overproduction of the calcium controlling hormone, parathormone. Drinking milk does not cause kidney stones.
  • Struvite Stones: Chronic infection of the urine generally causes these stones. The bacteria responsible for the infection cause a chemical alteration of urine which leads to this type of stone.
  • Uric Acid Stones: This type of stone forms when the urine is too acidic, which causes excessive uric acid production.
  • Cystine stones: These stones form because of an inherited condition in which the body cannot clear a chemical called cystine from the blood. Usually, other family members have the same condition.

What is laser kidney stone surgery?

The presence of kidney stones in your body can be severely discomforting and painful, so it becomes crucial for you to get rid of these stones in order to continue your normal errands. Myriad treatment procedures help to get rid of the stones. However, surgery will be the obvious choice in case your stone is quite large in size at cannot dispose of while urination or gets stuck in the urinary tract. In all such situations, you can contact the Best Hospital For Laser Stone Surgery in Kondapur, Gachibowli .


Amongst the different types of procedures available to treat kidney stones, one such treatment performed by the Best Urology hospital in Kondapur is laser kidney stone surgery.


Laser kidney stone surgery is a minimally invasive type of surgery that is performed under anesthesia using a small lighted instrument referred to as the ureteroscope. The ureteroscope is placed into the urethra and the urinary bladder to make it easy for your surgeon to see the stone in the kidney and the ureter.


Once the stone is seen, Holmium energy is transmitted using a laser to break it up. Some of the bigger broken pieces of the stone can be removed through the urethra with a small basket, and the other smaller pieces may pass later on with urination. In certain circumstances, the surgeon from the Kidney Stones Treatment Hospital in Kondapur may even use a high-powered holmium laser with high-frequency emissions that can help to dust your stones into fine powder. This fine powder is later on passed through urination.


Another effective method used at the Top Kidney Health Care Hospital in Kondapur is to use the holmium laser by regulating its pulse using the Moses effect. The Moses effect results in more efficient dusting or fragmentation of the stones due to which the need of using the basket might be minimized.


During the laser stone surgery, the surgeon might even insert a tube referred to as a stent between your kidney and urethra. The stent helps to promote healing and passing out the stone fragments more easily. This stent might be removed approximately one week after your surgery.
