Kidney Stone Expertise at Life Care Super Speciality Hospital

Kidney stones are solid deposits of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys, often causing severe pain, discomfort, and potential complications if not treated promptly. The sharp, stabbing pain, commonly referred to as renal colic, is typically felt in the back, side, or lower abdomen and may be accompanied by symptoms such as blood in the urine, fever, chills, and nausea. Kidney stones can vary in size, with larger stones often requiring specialized treatment.

At Life Care Super Speciality Hospital, we offer comprehensive, patient-focused care for kidney stones, utilizing the latest technology and a multidisciplinary approach to provide effective relief and long-term prevention.

Our Urology Department is equipped with advanced diagnostic tools, including ultrasound, CT scans, and urine analysis, to accurately identify the size, location, and composition of kidney stones. Based on these findings, our urologists develop a tailored treatment plan to provide prompt and effective relief. For smaller stones, conservative management with medications, increased fluid intake, and pain relief may be recommended to allow the stone to pass naturally.

For larger or more complex stones, we offer a range of minimally invasive procedures.

One of our most popular treatments is Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL), a non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to break the stone into smaller, passable pieces. We also specialize in laser lithotripsy, a procedure that uses a small laser fiber to fragment the stone during a ureteroscopy. For very large stones, Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) may be performed, involving a small incision to directly remove the stone. Beyond immediate treatment, we focus on long-term prevention by providing dietary advice and lifestyle recommendations tailored to each patient’s needs, helping to reduce the risk of stone recurrence.

At Life Care Super Speciality Hospital, we are committed to offering the highest level of care, from diagnosis and treatment to prevention and follow-up. Our experienced urologists and dedicated medical team are here to ensure that you receive compassionate, expert care at every step of your journey to recovery.
