Kidney stone management

Stones accumulate in the urinary tract when minerals and salts crystallise. Small stones often pass without intervention, but larger deposits may trigger intense pain, nausea, blood in the urine, or infection.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy

This non-invasive procedure uses focused shock waves directed from outside the body to break stones into fragments. Selection for this therapy depends on the specific size, location, and composition of the stone, alongside an assessment of the patient’s health.

• Ultrasound or CT imaging for precise targeting
• Evaluation of stone structure and mineral composition
• Focused shock wave application on suitable deposits
• Follow-up assessments to ensure complete clearance

Care follows a structured path from initial imaging and planning to the actual therapy and post-treatment monitoring. Each patient receives guidance tailored to their specific medical requirements.
