Laser Surgery For Kidney Stones: Nowadays unhealthy lifestyle and wrong eating habits are becoming the cause of many serious diseases. The problem of stones is one of them. When this problem occurs, a person breaks down from inside. Also, its pain makes it difficult to even sit or stand. If the size of the stone becomes large, then surgery is the only solution. But, there are many people who cannot afford this budget, due to which they become victims of serious diseases. Keeping these problems of the people in mind, a state-of-the-art endourological unit has been started in a big hospital in Delhi. Now laser surgery of stones can be done for free in this unit. Now the question is when will the operation take place? What is the method of surgery? In this regard, the Urology doctor at RML Hospital Delhi can do this. Head of Department Dr. Hemant Kumar Goyal Know from-
Dr. Hemant Kumar Goyal It is said that a state-of-the-art endourological unit has been started in the RML hospital of the Union Health Ministry. It will provide facilities for laser surgery of kidney stones and prostate. So now patients suffering from kidney stones and prostate disease will be able to get free laser surgery in the hospital without making any incision. In such a situation, the poor will be benefited the most.
Expenses up to two lakhs in private hospitals
According to experts, many private hospitals have laser surgery facilities for kidney stones. But these facilities were not available in government hospitals. However, AIIMS’s Urology department has the facility of lithotripsy surgery. Due to this lack, financially weak patients are unable to avail this facility. With this technique, stones up to one centimeter in size can be removed from the kidney without making any incision or giving anesthesia.
When and how is stone surgery done
Dr. Hemant explains that stones of 5 to 8 millimeters (0.5-0.8 centimeters) can be removed with medicines without surgery. But, surgery is required to remove stones larger than this. Generally, surgery is done using laparoscopy technique by making small holes in the back to remove kidney stones. But now in the hospital, stones up to two centimeters can be removed through laser surgery. In this procedure, a fiber is taken to the kidney through the urinary tract of the patient and the stone is broken with a laser. This procedure takes about one and a half hours.
