Kidney stones are a common problem affecting many individuals, causing severe pain in the back and abdomen. These stones are solid accumulations formed from minerals and salts present in the urine. Fortunately, laser treatment has emerged as an advanced technique offering a quick and effective solution for kidney stone removal without the need for traditional surgery.
What are kidney stones?
Kidney stones form as a result of the accumulation of minerals such as calcium, oxalate, and uric acid in the kidneys. When the urine is highly concentrated, these minerals begin to cluster and form crystals, which lead to stone formation. These stones vary in size and may remain in the kidneys or move to the urinary tract, causing pain.
How is kidney stone laser treatment performed?
Laser treatment for kidney stones is one of the latest solutions available. The laser is used to break the stones into very small pieces, allowing them to pass easily through the urine without causing intense pain. This is done by inserting a small device containing the laser source into the kidney through the urinary canal.
Advantages of laser treatment:
- Painless: Laser provides a pain-free solution compared to traditional surgeries.
- Quick results: Stones are removed quickly, reducing recovery time.
- Safe: Laser minimizes the risks associated with open surgery, such as infection and bleeding.
Post-treatment:
After the procedure, the patient can return to daily life in a short period. It is recommended to stay hydrated to prevent the recurrence of stones and maintain a healthy diet to reduce harmful minerals in the body.
