Kidney Stones Management
Kidney stones can be a painful and challenging condition, but with our specialized expertise, we offer advanced and patient-centered solutions for effective management. Our urologist focuses on comprehensive care, utilizing state-of-the-art procedures tailored to each individual. Here’s an in-depth look at our approach to managing kidney stones:
Kidney Stones Overview
Kidney stones are solid masses formed from crystals in the urine, and they can vary in size and composition. Our diagnostic process involves thorough assessments, including imaging and laboratory tests, to determine the size, location, and type of kidney stones.
Treatment Options
A minimally invasive procedure using specialized equipment to break down larger stones into smaller, more manageable fragments.
Small instruments are used through the urinary tract to diagnose and treat kidney stones without external incisions.
Non-invasive shock waves break down stones into smaller pieces, facilitating natural passage.
A flexible tube is introduced through the urinary tract to remove stones located in the ureter or kidney.
Laser technology is employed to break down stones into smaller fragments for easier removal.
Surgical technique involving a small incision to remove or break down large kidney stones.
Overcoming Kidney Obstruction
Also known as urinary tract obstruction, occurs when the flow of urine is blocked by a physical obstruction. This can result from kidney stones, blood clots, or benign growths. Symptoms may include pain in the abdomen or flank area, difficulty urinating, and urinary frequency. Our urologist specializes in addressing kidney obstruction with effective procedures.
Treatment Options
Placement of small tubes to maintain proper drainage and alleviate obstruction in the ureter.
Techniques to widen narrowed areas (strictures) in the ureter using balloon dilatation or laser incision.
Combatting Kidney Cancer
Kidney cancer involves the growth of malignant cells in the kidneys, organs responsible for filtering waste from the blood and producing urine. It typically manifests as renal cell carcinoma. Our urologist excels in managing kidney cancer with precision and compassion
Treatment Options
Minimally invasive surgery to remove the affected kidney using small incisions and specialized tools.
Surgical removal of both the kidney and adjoining ureter, often performed for advanced cases of kidney cancer.
Addressing Kidney Cysts

Treatment Options
Minimally invasive technique to remove the upper portion (roof) of the cyst, promoting drainage and reducing the risk of complications.
