Kidney stones are the tiny crystals which connect with each other to make a stone-like formation. They can be present in Kidney and ureter at the same time. Few very small stones get out of the body of their own with urine, but if they get blocked in the ureter or bladder then they can be very painful for the patient.
Depending on the size of the stone, it can also block the urine flow which is a medical emergency and should be treated immediately.
Symptoms
Pain traveling from lower rib area to lower back
Frequent Urinary Tract Infections (UTI)
Pain and burning during urination
Pain episodes come and go in a short or long intervals
The kidney stones treatment is commonly done by these methods:
This technique is best for treating the stones in the ureter (the tube connecting the kidney and the urethra). The probe is passed into the ureter and the stone is broken with the help of the laser. The stone is broken down into the tiny sand like particles, after which they can flow out with urine painlessly. This Lithotripsy is the Minimally invasive technique for stone removal. It has the fastest recovery time. In most cases, only overnight hospitalization is required.
This procedure includes the passage of probe from the skin of the patient and not from the ureter. The big stone (more than 2 cm) is then broken down into the smaller ones and then removed. This procedure requires spinal or epidural anesthesia. Sometimes the ureteral stents or pipes are also placed inside the ureter to ensure the proper flow of urine till the healing takes place or the obstruction is removed. Mini-perc is the new technique that we use, which includes smaller puncture to remove kidney stones while doing PCNL. This allows much faster recovery and healing.
These ureteral stents are removed under local anesthesia after 5-10 days. They are not used in every patient.
This procedure (also known as cystolitholapaxy) is for the removal of bladder stones. A cystoscope is inserted inside the urethra and then it reaches the bladder where the stone is trapped in a basket device and taken out from the urethral opening. In many cases, the urinary catheter is left in the bladder to ensure proper urine flow.
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)
If the size of the stone is small to medium, then in most cases, just the 24 hours of hospitalization is required.
No, Just a laser probe will be inserted through urethra so it comes under the minimally invasive procedure.
Only the PCNL will have a little probe insertion incision if you have a big stone.
Discuss all the medications that you are currently taking so that Dr. Vineet can decide which one to stop prior to surgery. Don’t stop any medications abruptly without asking your doctor.
Also, the patient is advised not to eat anything after midnight, prior to the procedure.
The bigger kidney stones require the percutaneous procedure that is, PCNL. You will need to be hospitalized for the same. You can resume your normal activity within 1 to 2 weeks.
Dietary precautions, adequate fluid intake, and certain medication are necessary to prevent recurrence of stone formation.
