Kidney Stone Treatment
Kidney Stone Treatment at YNB Health Care
Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form in the kidneys, often causing significant pain and discomfort. At YNB Health Care, we specialize in providing advanced, minimally invasive kidney stone treatment, including laser lithotripsy, to ensure effective and patient-friendly solutions.
Laser Lithotripsy: A Modern Approach to Kidney Stone Removal
Laser lithotripsy, also known as kidney stone laser treatment, is a highly effective procedure to break down kidney stones into small fragments, which are then naturally expelled through urine. The procedure involves inserting a ureteroscope into the urinary tract to locate the stone. A high-energy laser fiber is passed through the ureteroscope to target and break the stone into smaller pieces without the need for surgical incisions.
This technique is ideal for treating small to medium-sized stones located in the kidneys or ureters and is preferred due to its precision, minimal invasiveness, and quick recovery time.
