\n\nBookimed Expert Insight: Choosing high-volume centers in Istanbul like Hisar Hospital Intercontinental offers exceptional value. This facility was Turkey's first JCI-accredited hospital and treats over 250,000 patients annually. Expert surgeons like Professor Ozkan Onuk have performed over 1,000 kidney stone surgeries. For complex cases, investing in experienced professors at JCI-accredited hubs ensures access to advanced flexible scopes and specialized recovery protocols.
"}},"texts":{}},"faq":[{"id":"69aa092399a7309b86082172","question":"Is the surgery painful?","answer":"Ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy is generally painless during the procedure due to general anesthesia or sedation. Patients typically experience mild post-operative cramping or burning during urination. The primary source of discomfort is often the temporary double-J stent, which may cause flank pain or urgency for 3 to 7 days.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data suggests experience significantly impacts comfort levels. Surgeons like Professor Ozkan Onuk at Hisar Hospital Intercontinental have performed over 1,000 kidney stone surgeries. Highly experienced specialists often complete the laser phase faster. This reduced operative time typically leads to less internal inflammation and a smoother recovery period for the patient.
Patient Consensus: While the laser treatment itself is not felt, the internal stent is the most common complaint. Patients often describe a deep ache in the side that subsides quickly once the stent is removed at the clinic.

Outcomes depend on stone size and location, with distal ureteral stones showing the highest clearance rates of 94% to 100% in a single session.
Bookimed Expert Insight: While general success is high, surgeon experience is the strongest predictor of outcomes. Prof. Dr. Ozkan Onuk has performed over 1,000 kidney stone surgeries. Choosing a specialist with high procedural volume in JCI-accredited facilities like Hisar Hospital Intercontinental typically ensures more consistent stone-free results.
Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize that success often involves fragmenting stones to a passable size. While most are satisfied, many advise discussing alpha-blockers to manage potential stent discomfort during the recovery phase.

Surgeons insert a thin, flexible scope through the urethra to locate kidney stones. A high-energy laser then fragments or dusts stones into smaller pieces for natural passage or basket retrieval.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Patient data shows a preference for Istanbul centers like Hisar Hospital Intercontinental due to high-volume expertise. For instance, Professor Ozkan Onuk has performed over 1,000 kidney stone surgeries. This level of repetition often leads to faster operative times and more precise laser dusting.
Patient Consensus: While the laser procedure is painless under anesthesia, patients often report significant discomfort from the temporary stent. Hydrating aggressively and having a clear pain management plan for days 2–4 is essential for a smoother recovery.

While surgeons might skip stenting in uncomplicated cases with small stones, it remains standard for preventing blockages caused by post-operative swelling or residual fragments.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Turkish urology specialists like Dr. Ozkan Onuk, who has performed over 1,000 kidney stone surgeries, often decide on stent placement mid-procedure based on ureteral width. If your anatomy allows for natural drainage without significant swelling, you might avoid a stent entirely. Always confirm the removal plan before discharge to ensure a smooth transition back home.
Patient Consensus: Many patients feel surprised by the urge to urinate frequently while the stent is in place. Using a heating pad and staying hydrated significantly improves comfort until the brief removal appointment.

This minimally invasive procedure uses endoscopic tools to reach kidney stones without incisions. Total facility time usually spans 2 to 4 hours to include preoperative preparation and initial anesthesia recovery.
Bookimed Expert Insight: High-volume surgeons like Dr. Ozkan Onuk have performed over 1,000 kidney stone surgeries. This level of repetition often reduces `skin-to-skin` time while maintaining high success rates. Patients should prioritize clinics with JCI accreditation, such as Hisar Hospital Intercontinental, to ensure standardized safety protocols during these efficient procedures.
Patient Consensus: Expect the actual surgery to feel brief. However, factor in extra time for stent placement which may cause mild lingering discomfort after the procedure.

Most individuals resume office work in 1 to 2 weeks, while full healing and a return to strenuous exercise require 4 to 6 weeks.
Bookimed Expert Insight: High-volume centers like Hisar Hospital Intercontinental perform thousands of urological procedures annually. This scale often means more refined post-operative protocols. Surgeons like Dr. Ozkan Onuk, who has performed 1,000+ stone surgeries, emphasize that early movement prevents complications. Choosing a high-volume expert can significantly streamline your 2-week recovery window.
Patient Consensus: Expect mild discomfort or blood in the urine for several days during the initial healing phase. Patients emphasize staying hydrated is vital to managing these symptoms and clearing stone fragments quickly.

These JCI-accredited centers utilize advanced Holmium lasers and flexible ureteroscopy to achieve high stone clearance rates. Patients benefit from minimally invasive techniques and discharge typically within 24 hours.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows a high volume of successful outcomes at multi-disciplinary hubs like Hisar Intercontinental. Their international patient department, which won awards in 2019, manages the entire logistics chain. This specialized support often leads to smoother transitions for patients requiring immediate post-op CT scans.
Patient Consensus: Patients emphasize choosing clinics that provide same-day CT scans to confirm clearance. Many recommend confirming the timeline for stent removal before traveling home to manage post-op comfort.
