Frequently Asked Questions

What is laser lithotripsy, and how does it work?

Laser lithotripsy is a procedure used to break down kidney stones or stones in the urinary tract using laser energy. During the procedure, a flexible ureteroscope is inserted into the urinary tract through the urethra, and a laser fiber is passed through the scope to target and break down the stones into smaller fragments. The fragmented stones can then be passed naturally through the urine or removed with a retrieval device.

Is laser lithotripsy safe?

Yes, laser lithotripsy is considered a safe and effective procedure when performed by qualified urologists using appropriate equipment and techniques. At Aktif International Hospitals, our urologists are highly trained and experienced in performing laser lithotripsy procedures, ensuring the safety and satisfaction of our patients.

What are the benefits of laser lithotripsy?

Some of the benefits of laser lithotripsy include:

Minimally invasive: Laser lithotripsy is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require surgical incisions, reducing the risk of complications and shortening recovery time.
High success rate: Laser lithotripsy is highly effective in breaking down kidney stones and urinary tract stones into smaller fragments that can be passed naturally through the urine or removed with a retrieval device.
Precise targeting: Laser lithotripsy allows for precise targeting of the stones, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues and reducing the risk of injury to the urinary tract.
Short recovery time: Most patients can resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure, with minimal discomfort and downtime.

What conditions can be treated with laser lithotripsy?

Laser lithotripsy can be used to treat various conditions, including:

Kidney stones (renal calculi)
Ureteral stones
Bladder stones
Urethral stones

Our team of urologists will evaluate each patient’s condition and medical history to determine if laser lithotripsy is the appropriate treatment option.

What is the recovery process after laser lithotripsy?

After laser lithotripsy, patients may experience mild discomfort or urinary symptoms, such as frequency or urgency, which typically resolve within a few days. It is essential to drink plenty of fluids to help flush out the fragmented stones and promote healing. Our team will provide post-procedure instructions and follow-up care to ensure the best possible outcome.
