Focused shock waves are passed through the body to break a kidney stone into fragments small enough to pass in the urine. No incision is needed.
RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery)
A flexible telescope is passed up into the kidney through the natural urinary passage and a laser breaks up kidney stones. No cuts are made.
PCNL
A small tunnel is made through the back directly into the kidney to break and remove large stones. It is the most effective option for large or complex stones.
