Urolithiasis Treatment in Cura Hospitals
About the clinic
Urolithiasis treatment at Cura Hospitals in Bengaluru, India, provides advanced care for urinary tract stones. The hospital holds NABH accreditation and features a specialized urology team led by Dr. Madhu S N. Patients benefit from modern endourology equipment that allows for precise removal of kidney and ureter stones.
Diagnostic options for urinary stones
Accurate evaluation helps the medical team choose the best approach for stone removal. The clinic provides targeted testing to locate the stones before procedure planning.
- Diagnostic cystoscopy. This procedure allows the urologist to inspect the bladder and urinary tract directly using a small camera.
Minimally invasive treatment methods
Cura Hospitals focuses on endoscopic and surgical techniques that avoid large incisions. The choice of method depends on stone size and location.
- Ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy (URS). This approach works well for stones in the lower or middle ureter. The doctor passes a thin telescope through the urethra and uses a laser to break the stone. Patients usually leave the same day or the next morning.
- Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). This method treats kidney stones up to 2 cm without incisions. The urologist guides a flexible telescope into the kidney and breaks the stone with a laser. The procedure requires an outpatient stay or a single overnight recovery.
- Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). This surgery removes stones larger than 2 cm or those in complex locations. The surgeon makes a small puncture through the back into the kidney. The hospital uses mini-PCNL and ultra-mini-PCNL variants, requiring a hospital stay of 1 to 3 days.
- Flexible ureterorenoscopy. This option works for both visualization and treatment of the upper urinary tract. The doctor uses a flexible scope to examine the kidney and ureter.
Expert stone management team
