Comprehensive stone disease is medically known as urolithiasis or nephrolithiasis. It is a condition that leads to the formation of kidney stones in the kidney, ureter, bladder, or urethra. Kidney stones are hard deposits of mineral salts that form when urine has less water in it. These stones can be of different sizes; smaller ones pass through urine, but larger ones need to be medically removed.
Manipal Hospitals offers Comprehensive Kidney Stone Treatment in Ranchi by using advanced diagnostic tools and state-of-the-art treatment options. A team of experienced urologists, specialising in minimally invasive techniques, ensures effective management of kidney stones.
Kidney Stone Treatment is recommended:
To remove kidney stones
To relieve pain and discomfort
Prevent further kidney-related complications
Prevent urinary tract infections or blockages
Prevent the recurrence of stones
Treatment options like Laser and Shockwave Lithotripsy in Ranchi offer effective results with minimal discomfort.
Before comprehensive kidney stone treatment, the patient undergoes the following:
Evaluation of medical history and physical examination
Blood tests and urine tests to check for infection
Imaging techniques such as MRI, CT, or X-rays
Counselling on treatment plan, diet, and lifestyle
The procedure is typically performed under general anaesthesia to minimise discomfort. Laser Lithotripsy and Shockwave Lithotripsy (SWL) are two of the most common procedures.
Laser Lithotripsy: A thin, flexible scope is inserted through the urinary tract, and a laser breaks the stone into tiny fragments, which are then removed.
Shockwave Lithotripsy (SWL): It uses targeted sound waves to break stones into smaller pieces that can pass through the urinary tract.
A trained team of urologists performs the procedure with a focus on safety and precision.
Patients require 1-2 days of hospital stay for monitoring and recovery. Most patients return to work within a week. The care team schedules regular follow-ups and provides guidance to support recovery and treatment success.
What are the risks associated with kidney stone treatment?
Laser and Shockwave Lithotripsy in Ranchi are generally safe and effective. However, few common risks include bleeding, infection, and pain during or after the procedure. Shock Wave Lithotripsy may cause bruising or blood in the urine, and not all stone fragments may pass through the urine. Laser lithotripsy can lead to temporary discomfort, urinary tract irritation, or injury to the ureter.
At Manipal Hospitals, we offer Comprehensive Kidney Stone Treatment in Ranchi, combining advanced technology with personalised care to ensure the best outcomes. The experienced urologists are committed to guiding you through every step, from diagnosis to recovery, with compassion and expertise.
While most kidney stones aren't life-threatening, they can lead to serious conditions like infection, blocked urine flow, or kidney damage. In rare situations, untreated kidney stones can cause serious complications like sepsis or kidney failure, which may require urgent treatment. Getting comprehensive kidney stone treatment in Ranchi right away helps prevent these risks.
Common symptoms include severe pain in the back or side, blood in the urine, nausea, vomiting, frequent urination, and a burning sensation while urinating.
In many cases, small stones can pass naturally with the help of increased fluid intake and medications. Surgery is typically advised only when the stones are large or become stuck.
Although more common in adults, kidney stones can also affect children due to genetics, diet, or certain medical conditions.
Most procedures last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of treatment and complexity.
