Kidney Stone Removal Techniques
Depending on the size and location of the stone, patients receive tailored treatment plans:
- Laser ureteroscopy is performed via the ureter for stones up to 20 mm in the bladder, ureter, or kidney.

All procedures are designed to ensure kidney stone treatment without waiting and to minimize patient discomfort and recovery time.
