Diagnostic Services

The clinic offers a full range of tests to locate and analyze stones. This helps create a personalized treatment plan. Available diagnostics include:

• Online or in-person urologist consultation
• CT scan, MRI, and Ultrasound imaging
• Urodynamics testing

Treatment Methods

The urology team provides several treatment paths. The choice depends on the stone's size, type, and location.

• Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): This non-invasive method uses sound waves to break stones from outside the body. It typically requires no incision and has a short recovery. The procedure may cost around 2,500–4,500 EUR.
• Laser Lithotripsy via Ureteroscopy: A thin scope is passed into the urinary tract. A laser then fragments the stone precisely. This is a minimally invasive option. The surgery is around 5,000–6,500 EUR.
• Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL): This is keyhole surgery for large or complex stones. It is highly effective for difficult cases. The procedure may cost about 9,000–10,000 EUR. The clinic's Da Vinci robotic system can assist in these operations.

As a JCI-accredited hospital, Centro Médico Teknon follows international quality standards. Patients receive 24/7 multilingual support. To explore these kidney stone treatment options, you can contact the clinic for an individual assessment.
