More treatment options

LARGER STONES WITH GREATER SYMPTOMS:

~Using sound waves to break up stones-

A procedure called extarcorporeal shock wave lithotripsy

(ESWL) is used to create strong vibrations that break down into

tiny pieces that can be passed in your urine

~Surgery to remove large stones in the kidney-

A procedure called percutaneous nephrolithotomy involves

surgically removing a kidney stone using small telescopes and

instruments inserted through a small incision in your back

(ESWL may be recommended if this surgery was unsuccessful)

~Using a scope to remove stones-

With a ureterscope(thin lightened tube) the doctor locates the

stones and with special tools can snare the stones and will

pass in your urine.
