Also known as laser lithotripsy, it is a minimally invasive procedure that uses laser energy to break down stones present in the kidneys, ureters, or bladder into small fragments that can be easily eliminated from the body through urine.
It is performed through small instruments inserted into the urinary tract, avoiding the need for large incisions.
This reduces trauma to the tissues and speeds recovery.
Due to the precise and controlled nature of the laser, this procedure minimizes blood loss, which is especially beneficial for patients with conditions that increase the risk of bleeding.
Patients typically experience a faster recovery compared to traditional methods. This allows for a quicker return to daily activities.
The laser offers high precision in fragmenting the stones, ensuring that they disintegrate into small fragments without damaging the surrounding tissues.
Laser surgery is especially effective for treating large kidney stones that cannot be removed naturally or by other non-invasive treatments.
These can cause blockage and severe pain. Laser surgery can remove these stones safely and effectively.
Laser lithotripsy is also an excellent option for treating bladder stones, especially those that cause bothersome or recurring symptoms.
Prior to the procedure, detailed medical evaluations, including blood tests and imaging studies, are performed to ensure that the patient is in optimal condition for surgery.
Clear instructions are provided on fasting, medication discontinuation, and any other necessary requirements.
The procedure begins with the administration of anesthesia to ensure patient comfort.
A ureteroscope is then inserted through the urethra to the area where the stone is located.
The Holmium laser is used to fragment the stone into small particles, which are then naturally ejected or extracted with special instruments.
The ureteroscope is a thin, flexible instrument that allows the surgeon to visualize and access stones in the urinary tract.
The Holmium laser is an advanced technology that provides high precision in the fragmentation of stones, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
The choice of instruments will depend on the surgeon’s condition and perspective. You can trust the medical team at the Urology Center to recommend the best solution for you.
After surgery, detailed instructions are provided to ensure a successful recovery.
These include recommendations on fluid intake, physical activity, and pain management.
It is important to follow a series of care at home, such as avoiding intense physical exertion, staying well hydrated to facilitate the removal of stone fragments and following a proper diet to prevent the formation of new stones.
In order to provide peace of mind to our patients, follow-up visits are scheduled to assess the patient’s progress and adjust treatment as needed.
