Understanding Kidney Stones

A kidney stone is an accumulation of hard material and salt inside your kidney. It affects the parts of your urinary tract from your kidney to the bladder. The size of a kidney stone varies from a grain of sand to several centimetres to the size of a golf ball. By diagnosing the size of the stone, we recommend the best treatment approach. We do not provide the same kind of kidney stone treatment for all kinds of stones.

Types of Kidney Stones We Treat at Vivanta Kidney Hospital

  • Calcium oxalate stones: It is the most common type. It occurs when calcium is combined with oxalate in the urine.
  • Uric acid stones: When a patient has high uric acid levels due to gout, a high-protein diet, etc, it forms uric acid stones.
  • Struvite Stones: It is also known as an infection stone. It results from a urinary tract infection. It grows rapidly and requires surgical removal.
  • Cystine Stones: It is one of the most rare stone types. It is hereditary and causes the kidney to leak an excess of certain amino acids, which form stones.

The size and location of the stone give different kinds of symptoms and require a different type of stone treatment. At Vivanta Kidney Hospital, we always believe in giving the most appropriate kidney treatment in Surat for long-term results.

Medical Management

It is ideal for small stones typically under 5 to 6 MM. With medical management and conservative treatment, you can pass the stone naturally by increasing fluid intake, adjusting your diet, and taking medication. Our first step is a careful prescription of types of safe and effective pain-relieving medicines, as well as stone-dissolving medications

  • Customized treatment plans
  • Continued monitoring of stone size and type
  • No need for hospitalisation

ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy)

It is a noninvasive, outpatient procedure that uses high-energy sound waves to break kidney stones into small pieces. So, you can pass them through your urine. This is ideal for stones up to 2 cm & has a fast recovery with less pain.

  • Non-invasive, no incisions
  • Rapid recovery
  • Safe and painless

URS (Ureteroscopy)

URS or laser stone surgery is a minimally invasive procedure where a thin flexible scope is inserted through the urethra, which helps to extract stones from the ureter or kidney. It is ideal for ureteric or small to medium kidney stones, typically up to 1.5 to 2 cm stone size with us. You can return to normal activity within 2 to 3 days.

  • No cuts, no scarring
  • Minimally invasive with minimal discomfort
  • Next-generation laser technology

PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy)

It is a minimally invasive surgical treatment suitable for large ( greater than 2 cm ), complex or multiple kidney stones. A small incision is made in the back to access the kidney directly and completely remove stones. If required, we use methods such as Mini-Perc, Ultra-Perc and Micro-Perc.

  • Great for big stones
  • Very little invasive
  • Advanced techniques

Laparoscopic Open Surgery

Laparoscopic or open surgery is very rare for kidney stones. It is used for most exceptionally large, complex or impaction stones. If you undergo laparoscopy, we have skilled surgeons who handle these procedures with skilful precision to ensure safe and successful results.

  • Highly experienced surgeons
  • Complex Cases, Safe and Efficacious
  • Comprehensive pre- and post-surgery care

RIRS & ECIRS (Retrograde / Endoscopic Combined Intrarenal Surgery)

These specialised scopes (RIRS, Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery, Flexible ureteroscope, Urethra) are used to access the kidney without making any cuts. The Endoscopic Combined Intrarenal Surgery (ECIRS) approach combines both RIRS and PCNL for larger or complex stones, maximising stone-free rates.

  • Non-invasive
  • Recommended for hard stones
  • Complete clearance
