Understanding the Condition
What is Kidney Stone Surgery?
Kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) form when minerals and salts crystallise inside the kidneys. Stones smaller than 5mm often pass naturally; larger stones cause severe colicky pain, blood in urine, and urinary obstruction requiring medical intervention.
Modern urological surgery uses laser energy (Holmium YAG or Thulium fibre laser) to fragment stones into dust, which is then flushed or removed through a scope — no external cuts required for most procedures. Treatment is matched to stone size, location, and composition.
When is surgery needed?
- Kidney stone larger than 6–7mm that is unlikely to pass on its own
- Severe renal colic pain not controlled by medication
- Urinary tract infection caused by obstructing stone
- Stone causing kidney damage or progressive hydronephrosis
- Patient is a pilot, sailor, or single-kidney patient requiring definitive treatment
