Kidney Stone Treatment in Chembur, Mumbai – Endourology & Laser Stone Surgery
Kidney stones can cause severe pain, blood in the urine, urinary infections, and difficulty passing urine. Dr. Gaurav Das, Consultant Urologist in Chembur, Mumbai, provides diagnosis and personalised treatment for kidney and urinary stones using minimally invasive endourological techniques.
Treatment options include RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery), URS/URSL, laser stone surgery, and PCNL, depending on the stone's size, location, and complexity. These procedures can help remove stones effectively while reducing the need for large surgical incisions and supporting faster recovery in suitable patients.
At Dr. Gaurav Das Multispeciality Hospital in Chembur, patients receive individualised stone management, including evaluation, treatment planning, follow-up care, and guidance to help reduce the risk of recurrent kidney stones.
What Is the Best Treatment for Kidney Stones?
The most suitable kidney stone treatment depends on the stone's size, location, composition, symptoms, and the patient's kidney health. Small stones may pass naturally with appropriate medical guidance, while larger or obstructing stones may require procedures such as URSL, RIRS, or PCNL.
Dr. Gaurav Das evaluates each patient's condition to recommend an appropriate treatment approach, with a focus on safe stone removal and long-term urinary health.
URS & URSL
URS is used to treat stones in the ureter using a thin scope passed through the natural urinary passage. During URSL, a laser breaks the stone into tiny fragments, which are then removed or passed naturally.
Best for:
- Ureteric stones causing pain
- Painful or obstructing stones
- Recurrent urinary infections due to stones
RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery)
RIRS is an incision-free procedure that uses a flexible scope and laser to remove kidney stones. It is ideal for small to medium-sized kidney stones and offers faster recovery with minimal discomfort.
Best for:
- Kidney stones up to 2 cm
- Multiple or difficult-to-reach stones
- Patients seeking minimally invasive treatment
PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy)
PCNL is recommended for large or complex kidney stones. A small incision is made in the back to access and remove stones directly from the kidney, providing excellent stone clearance.
Best for:
- Stones larger than 2 cm
- Staghorn stones
- Multiple or complex kidney stones
Laparoscopic Ureterolithotomy
This keyhole surgical procedure is performed when ureteric stones are very large, impacted, or cannot be treated with endoscopic methods. It offers effective stone removal with faster recovery than open surgery.
Best for:
- Large impacted ureteric stones
- Failed endoscopic stone treatment
- Complex ureteric stone disease
