What Is Laser Treatment for Kidney Stones?

​

Laser kidney stone surgery is a no-cut or minimal-cut endoscopic procedure where a small scope is passed through the urinary passage. Using laser energy, the stone is fragmented into small particles or “dust,” allowing it to be removed safely or passed naturally.

​

This method is preferred worldwide because it is:

• Safe

• Effective

• Minimally invasive

• Suitable for complex stones

• Offers quick recovery

​

Laser surgery is now considered the gold standard for stones that cannot pass naturally or are causing pain, blockage, or infection.

Types of Laser Procedures We Offer

​

RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery)

A flexible scope is passed into the kidney through the ureter, and a laser is used to break the kidney stone into fine dust.
Ideal for:

Stones inside the kidney

Stones <2 cm

Recurrent stones

​

URS (Ureterorenoscopy & Laser Lithotripsy)

Used for stones in the ureter (the tube that carries urine from kidney to bladder).
The laser breaks the stone, and fragments are removed through the scope.

​

Mini-PCNL

A minimally invasive technique used for larger stones (>2 cm).
Only a small puncture is made in the back to reach the kidney, making it safer and faster than conventional open surgery.
 

Cystolithotripsy (Laser Bladder Stone Surgery)

A minimally invasive procedure used to treat bladder stones. A scope is passed through the urethra into the bladder, where laser energy is used to break the stone into small fragments, which are then removed safely.

Ideal for:

• Stones inside the bladder

• Patients with urinary obstruction or prostate-related bladder stones

• Recurrent bladder stones
