Kidney stones or renal calculi are hard masses of salts and minerals that are formed in the kidneys. The function of kidneys is to balance the fluids and remove the waste products from the body. But when there are high levels of minerals and salts in the urine, it leads to the formation of stones. In the case of kidney stones, the stones may cause discomfort and immense pain due to obstruction in the urinary tract. Kidney stones can be as small as a grain of sand or as big as a golf ball. Therefore, it is necessary to treat kidney stones to prevent infecting other parts of the urinary tract.
There are several methods available for the treatment of kidney stones. Modern and effective surgical treatments for kidney stones include laparoscopic treatment, laser treatment and shock wave lithotripsy.
Depending upon these mentioned factors, the average cost of kidney stone surgery in India ranges between INR 45,000- INR 2,00,000.

The following kidney stone surgeries are available at our treatment centres:
Laparoscopic surgery- In laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon carries out a few minor incisions in the lower abdomen region. Through one of these incisions, a camera fitted laparoscope is inserted to get a clearer picture of the kidney. Other surgical instruments are also used to remove the stones and the incisions are then sewed back using sutures.
Extracoropreal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL)- In ESWL, the surgeon uses thousands of shock wave pulses to break the stone into smaller pieces. These small stone pieces can easily travel through the urinary tract and eventually get flushed out during urination.
Laser Lithotripsy- In laser lithotripsy or laser ureteroscopy, the surgeon inserts a lighted ureteroscope into the urinary tract through the urethra. This allows the surgeon to locate the stones easily. Once located, the surgeon uses laser pulses to crush the stone into smaller pieces. Some of the stone pieces are removed during the procedure using a surgical basket. The stone granules then get flushed out along with the pressure of the urine.
