Be Well Kidney Stone Process

Step - 1
Patient Evaluation and Preparation
Patients are evaluated to determine the size, location, and composition of the kidney stones. Imaging tests, such as X-rays or ultrasound, are often performed for this assessment. Patients may be asked to fast for a few hours before the procedure, and they might be given specific instructions about medications.
Step - 2
Anaesthesia Administration and Positioning
ESWL is usually performed with the patient under sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the case and the preference of the healthcare team. The patient is positioned on a treatment table, and the kidney stone’s location is identified using imaging techniques.
Step - 3
Shock Wave Application
The shock wave generator is positioned precisely on the patient’s body over the area where the kidney stone is located. Shock waves are then generated and directed at the kidney stone to break it into smaller fragments.
Step - 4
Real-Time Monitoring
The procedure is monitored in real-time using imaging, such as fluoroscopy or ultrasound, to guide the accurate targeting of the kidney stones.
Step - 5
Fragment Passage
Following the application of shock waves, the broken stone fragments are expected to pass out of the body through the urinary system over the next few days or weeks.
Step - 6
Post-Procedure Observation and Follow-Up
After the procedure, patients are monitored for immediate complications and may have follow-up appointments to assess treatment effectiveness and address any ongoing symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are here to help you with all your questions and provide answers.

Most stones form simply under the internal surface of the kidney. Small crystals in your pee combine, like the manner in which salt form from evaporating saltwater.

Possible causes include drinking too little water, exercise (too much or too little), obesity, weight loss surgery, or eating food with too much salt or sugar. Infections and family history might be important in some people.

Common symptoms of kidney stones include a sharp, cramping pain in the back and side. This feeling often moves to the lower abdomen or groin.

Every year, more than 1/2 million individuals go to the hospital for kidney stone issues. It is imagined that one out of ten individuals will have a kidney stone eventually in their lives.

Most people can go back to their regular daily activities 1 or 2 days after this procedure. Drink a lot of water in the weeks after treatment.

Know More About Kidney Stones

What are Kidney Stones?
Kidney stones are solid crystals generated by urine salts. They are also known as renal calculi. Kidney stones can obstruct the flow of urine, resulting in infection, renal damage, and even kidney failure. They can differ in terms of size and location. Kidney stones affect roughly one in every ten males and one in every 35 women.
The likelihood of acquiring a second kidney stone after having one is between 5% and 10% per year. Within five years, thirty to fifty percent of persons who have a first kidney stone will get a second stone. The risk decreases after five years. Some people, on the other hand, keep getting stones their entire lives.
Calcium Oxalate Stones
These are the most common type. They form when there’s an excess of calcium and oxalate in the urine. Foods high in oxalates, such as beets, nuts, and certain vegetables, can contribute to the formation of these stones.
Calcium Phosphate Stones
These stones are also related to high calcium levels in the urine but are more common in people with metabolic conditions, such as renal tubular acidosis.
Uric Acid Stones
These stones form when there’s an excess of uric acid in the urine, often associated with a diet high in purines. Purines are found in certain foods like organ meats, anchovies, and shellfish.
Struvite Stones
These stones can develop in response to an infection, such as a urinary tract infection. They are made out of magnesium, ammonium, and phosphate.
Cystine Stones
These rare stones result from a hereditary disorder that causes the kidneys to excrete too much cystine, an amino acid.
How do you get Kidney Stones ?
  • You don’t drink enough water
  • You follow a protein, sodium, and/or sugar high diet
  • You have had gastric bypass surgery or other intestinal surgery
  • You have polycystic kidney disease
  • You have a certain condition that causes your urine to have high levels of cystine, oxalate, uric acid, or calcium
Laparoscopic surgery
  • If a kidney stone is more than 1.5 cm in size or has a hard consistency, doctors will undertake percutaneous surgery. This is a follow-up procedure to the original surgical treatment.
  • In this procedure, the doctor makes a small incision in the patient’s back and inserts a tube into the patient’s back to reach the kidney. The stones are then surgically broken into little fragments and removed through the connected catheter by the doctor. Following that, a stent is used to hold the channel open.
Ureteroscopy
  • In the operating room, doctors administer general anesthesia to the patient. A scope is used to look within the ureter, and a laser fiber is used to break up the kidney stone particles. 
  • This treatment might take anywhere from 20 minutes to hours, depending on the number of stones present inside. A stent is placed post-surgery to prevent the ureter from closing. It remains for 3-10 days, and the remaining pieces pass out throughout this period.
