Get relief from pain of kidney stones by Lithotripsy in India at fewer prices. Lithotripsy is one of the most common Urosurgery procedures in India. With the best infrastructure and medical facilities, accompanied with luxurious travel, India is a first choice of many international patients. Lithotripsy is available at the most competitive prices in India at Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore. Lithotripsy is a noninvasive (the skin is not pierced) procedure used to treat kidney stones that are too large to pass through the urinary tract. Lithotripsy treats kidney stones by sending focused ultrasonic energy or shock waves directly to the stone first located with fluoroscopy (a type of x-ray "movie") or ultrasound (high frequency sound waves). The shock waves break a large stone into smaller stones that will pass through the urinary system. Lithotripsy allows persons with certain types of stones in the urinary system to avoid an invasive surgical procedure for stone removal.

Procedures

There are two types of shock wave technology. The original lithotripsy machines sent the shock waves through water in a tub in which the person being treated was placed. This technology remains in use today. More recently, machines have been developed that send shock waves through padded cushions on a table, so the procedure does not involve immersing a person in water.

Other procedures that may be used to treat kidney stones include:

urethroscopy or ureteroscopy - endoscopic procedures in which stones in the urethra or ureter may be removed with a device inserted through a short, flexible, lighted tube, called an endoscope

percutaneous nephrolithotomy (tunnel surgery) - a surgical procedure for stones which cannot be treated with lithotripsy or endoscopic procedures. It involves the removal of a stone through a thin tube tunneled through a small incision in the back into the kidney.

Open surgery - a more invasive surgical procedure using a larger incision to directly access the stone

Stent - a synthetic, tubular device that may be used along with other procedures, a stent may be inserted through a special scope into the urinary tract to allow stones to pass more easily.

 Risks

Abdominal pain is fairly common after ESWL, but it is usually not a cause for worry. However, persistent or severe abdominal pain may imply an unexpected internal injury. Occasionally, stones may not be completely fragmented during the first ESWL treatment and further lithotripsy procedures may be required. Some people are allergic to the dye material used during an IVP, so it cannot be used. For these people, focused sound waves, called ultrasound, can be used to identify where the stones are located.
