Kidney Stone Specialist in Tamil Nadu

Medical Management

Selected small stones may be managed with adequate hydration, prescribed pain medication, and medicines that can support stone passage when appropriate. Follow-up is important to confirm that the stone has passed and that no obstruction remains.

ESWL

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy uses focused shock waves to break selected stones into smaller fragments.

Ureteroscopy

Ureteroscopy involves guiding a thin scope through the natural urinary passage to reach the stone. Laser energy can fragment the stone, allowing the pieces to be removed or pass naturally. It is a minimally invasive option that does not require a large external incision.

RIRS

Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery uses a flexible ureteroscope to reach stones inside the kidney through the urinary tract. RIRS may be useful for stones located in areas that are difficult to treat with some other techniques.

PCNL and Mini-PCNL

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy is commonly considered for larger, multiple, or complex kidney stones. A small access tract is created through the back to reach the kidney and remove the stone. Mini-PCNL uses a smaller access tract and may be considered for selected patients based on stone characteristics and clinical findings.
