Showing Kidney Stone

Traveling From Canada

Kidney stone (also known as ureterolithiasis) surgery is required when the pain from kidney stones is persistent and severe, in renal failure and when there is a kidney infection. Finding a significant stone before it passes into the ureter allows physicians to fragment it surgically before it causes any severe problems. In most of these cases, non-invasive Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) will be used. Otherwise some form of invasive procedure is required; with approaches including ureteroscopic fragmentation.
