Ospedale San Carlo di Nancy in Rome, Italy, assesses and treats urolithiasis with four named stone procedures. A Male Check-up may cost around $1,200, and the Italian National Health Service-accredited hospital has Da Vinci robotic surgery in urology.
Urolithiasis diagnostics
Dr. Carlo Saltutti specializes in urology. Diagnostic options include a Male Check-up and a Urological Check-Up.
- Urological Check-Up: Includes blood chemistry and laboratory tests, uroflowmetry, suprapubic prostatic ultrasound, kidney ultrasound, and a specialist examination.
- Male Check-up: Available for $1,200 approximately.
Stone treatment options
The clinic offers procedures for kidney, ureteral, and bladder stones. The method depends on the stone’s location and the procedure selected.
- Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PERC / mini-PERC): Removes kidney stones through percutaneous access. The mini-PERC variant reduces tissue trauma.
- Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS): Treats kidney stones through the urinary tract, without a skin incision.
- Ureterolithotripsy (ULT): Uses laser or ultrasound lithotripsy to break ureteral stones into fragments.
- Cystolithotripsy: Uses endoscopic laser or ultrasound to fragment bladder stones.
The urology unit also uses the Da Vinci surgical system for robotic-assisted urologic procedures. The hospital is part of GVM Care & Research and has 145 doctors across 50 departments. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.
