Advanced stone removal in Vizag & across India — RIRS, PCNL, URS. No large cuts, painless, back home in a day.
Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys. They can affect any part of the urinary tract. Stones form when urine becomes concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallise and stick together.
Small stones under 5mm often pass on their own with hydration. Larger stones require surgical removal. SurgiKure uses RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery), PCNL, and URS — the most advanced techniques to remove stones with no or minimal incisions.
Often passes spontaneously with increased fluid intake and medications. Medical expulsion therapy may be recommended.
May require medical expulsion therapy or minimally invasive surgery (RIRS or URS) if it fails to pass.
Requires surgical intervention. RIRS (laser through the urethra) or URS is the preferred approach with no external incision.
Large stones requiring PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) through a small back incision or multiple RIRS sessions.
A flexible ureteroscope is passed through the urethra to the kidney. Laser energy breaks the stone to fine dust (dusting) or small fragments. No incision, same-day discharge, excellent success rate for stones up to 20mm.
A thin rigid scope is passed through the urethra to the ureter to laser-fragment and remove ureteric stones. Quick procedure, no incision, rapid recovery.
For large or complex stones. A tiny incision in the back accesses the kidney directly. A nephroscope fragments and extracts the stone. Requires 1-2 days in hospital.
Non-invasive shockwaves break stones into small fragments that pass through urine. Suitable for specific stone types and sizes under 20mm.
