Laser lithotripsy is a procedure to break apart kidney stones in the urinary tract. It is done with a ureteroscope passed into the tubes of the urinary tract. Incisions are not needed. The laser breaks the kidney stones into smaller pieces that can either be removed by the surgeon or pass out of the body in the urine.
This is now a gold standard for Ureteral stones. We have removed as big as 4cms. Ureteral stones using the technology without a cut on body and sent the patient home on the same day!
