What are the best kidney stone treatments?

Hello Mr Shyam,

Treatment for kidney stones typically depends on the stone's size, location, and composition. Common options include:

1. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): Non-invasive treatment using shock waves to break down stones.
2. Ureteroscopy (URS) is a minimally invasive procedure in which a thin tube with a camera is used to remove stones.
3. Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL): Invasive surgery to remove larger stones through a small incision in the back.
4. Laser Lithotripsy: Uses laser energy to break stones into smaller pieces for easier removal.
5. Medications are prescribed to manage pain and prevent future stone formation.
