Causes

Conditions like kidney stones, urinary tract infections, tumors, or prostate enlargement.

Risks

Potential risks include bleeding, infection, injury to surrounding organs, or recurrence of the condition.

ProcedureS

Ureteroscopy


A procedure using a thin tube with a camera to remove or treat stones or tumors in the ureters or bladder.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy

A minimally invasive technique to remove large kidney stones through a small incision in the back.

Lithotripsy


Using shock waves to break up kidney stones so they can pass more easily.

Ureteral Stenting

Inserting a small tube into the ureter to relieve obstruction and facilitate urine flow.

Endoscopic Resection

Removing tumors or polyps from the bladder or prostate using endoscopic techniques.

Treatment Options

Medication

To manage pain and infections, or to help dissolve kidney stones.

Surgical Procedures

For larger stones or tumors that cannot be treated non-invasively.

Lifestyle Changes

Dietary modifications and hydration to prevent the recurrence of kidney stones.

post Procedure Recovery

Ureteroscopy – With minimal downtime, normal activities can be resumed in a few days.
PCNL – Short hospital stay, full recovery in weeks.
Lithotripsy – Normal activities resumed in a few days, with some discomfort.

Success rate

The success rate for nephrology and urology interventions is generally high, with procedures like lithotripsy achieving success rates of 80% to 90% in stone fragmentation and passage.

Will I need a follow-up procedure after the intervention?

Follow-up may be necessary to ensure the condition is fully resolved and to monitor for any recurrence.

How can I prevent kidney stones or other urological issues in the future?

Staying hydrated, dietary modifications, and regular check-ups can help prevent recurrence.

 

Are these procedures painful?

Most procedures are minimally invasive and performed under anesthesia, minimizing pain during and after the procedure.
