Today, if completely non-invasive methods do not work in medicine, the best way to remove kidney stones is nephrolithotripsy. Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy involves inserting a nephroscope through a small incision in the lumbar region. With the help of a thin tube, the tool is inserted into the kidney cavity, and with the help of a laser, they are crushed into small fractions. They are removed from the organ or naturally.
Passing kidney stones can be quite painful, but the stones usually cause no permanent damage if they're recognized in a timely fashion. Depending on your situation, you may need nothing more than to take pain medication and drink lots of water to pass a kidney stone. In other instances โ for example, if stones become lodged in the urinary tract, are associated with a urinary infection or cause complications โ surgery may be needed.
Your doctor may recommend preventive treatment to reduce your risk of recurrent kidney stones if you're at increased risk of developing them again.
