What is Kidney Stone Removal?
Kidney Stones are small calcium rock-like solids that can be formed anywhere in your urinary system. It is more common to find them in your kidneys than in any other location of the urinary system. This stones can be as large as 6 cm or as small as .5 cm and they can be formed in multiple areas.. You will notice you have kidney stones mainly after pain during urination and it is recommended to get tested immediately to determine the size and location of the stone(s) to remove it before it gets bigger or complicated. Not removing a kidney stone can cause kidney permanent failure which can lead to death. A great recommendation to avoid future kidney stone issues is to drink plenty of water and perform moderate daily exercise.
Three Main Techniques for Kidney Stone Treatment
- Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is the most frequently used procedure for the treatment of kidney stones. Works by focusing intense sound waves on the stone, causing the stone to shatter while minimizing the effect on surrounding tissue. The small pieces of stone then wash out of the kidney with normal urine flow, usually with little or no discomfort.
- Ureteroscopy may be needed for mid- and lower-ureteral stones; no incision is made in this procedure. Instead, the surgeon passes a small fiberoptic instrument called a ureteroscope through the urethra and bladder into the ureter.
- Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy is recommended to remove a stone, being often used when the stone is quite large or in a location that does not allow effective use of ESWL.
Kidney Stones Removal Package in Mexico
Kidney Stones Removal is a non-surgical procedure to treat kidney stones, gallbladder stones, or stones found in the urinary bladder or ureters and even the liver. If you’ve ever experienced the pain of such blockages, you should know about this procedure. Lithotripsy is considered one of the safest and most effective methods of treating kidney stones, whether they’re formed by a buildup of calcium or sodium deposits. Each has the potential to block passageways and cause mild to extreme pain.
The lithotripsy procedure effectively disintegrates/dissolves/fragments kidney or gallbladder stones through shock wave therapy, reducing pain and allows adequate excretion of urine out of the body. Fragmenting calcium, stones, sodium deposits or stones such as gall stones enables them to pass through the bile duct (in the case the gallbladder; ureters in the case of kidney stones), and then to be excreted out of the body in the urine flow.
