Kidney stones of 1.3 centimeters are generally not serious. The treatment can choose extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, ureteral flexible mirror lithotripsy and other methods.
1. Extracorporeal lithotripsy is suitable for kidney stones ≤ 2cm and upper ureteral stones. Specifically, under the localization of ultrasound, high-energy shock waves are used to break up the stones, causing them to crack until they are crushed into fine sand. Contraindications include urinary tract obstruction distal to the stone, pregnancy, aortic aneurysm, renal artery aneurysm and other diseases.
2. The indications for ureteral lithotripsy are kidney stones ≤2cm, especially those with hard texture and poor effect of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
The specific treatment program also need to go to the hospital to consult the doctor, according to the patient’s specific situation to decide.
