What are the minimally invasive procedures for kidney stones

Minimally invasive surgery for kidney stones mainly includes percutaneous nephrolithotripsy or ureteral soft lithotripsy, which should be selected according to the patient’s physical condition and illness. 1. Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy: a 0.5cm~1cm incision is made in the lumbar region, the nephrolithoscope is passed into the kidney, and holmium laser is used to break up the stone and take it out, or it is sucked out by negative pressure. The main risks of the procedure are postoperative infectious shock and bleeding from the kidneys. However, the advantages of percutaneous nephrolithotomy include less injury, complete stone removal, quick recovery and less pain. 2.Holmium laser lithotripsy:The ureteral flexible lens is switched through the angle of urethra to make the ureteral flexible lens enter into the kidney, and then the laser fiber is inserted to break the stone to be discharged by itself. Surgical risk is common bleeding, urinary tract infection, stone retention. The advantages are fewer complications, lower surgical risks, and faster postoperative recovery. If you suffer from kidney stones, patients should go to the urology department of regular hospitals as soon as possible, and under the guidance of the physician to improve the relevant examinations, to determine the treatment plan as soon as possible, and actively cooperate with, so as not to delay the condition.
