Minimally invasive kidney stone surgery includes percutaneous nephrolithotripsy and ureteroscopic lithotripsy, which usually costs about $15,000 to $30,000, depending on the level of the hospital, the city where you live, and other factors, so it is not possible to generalize. Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy is a minimally invasive surgery that puts the nephrolithoscope into the kidney through the opening of the skin of the affected area to break up the stone, and this treatment usually costs about $30,000; ureteroscopic lithotripsy is a medical treatment that breaks up the stone by inserting the device into the urethra, bladder and into the kidney, and it costs about $15,000 for this kind of surgery for the treatment of kidney stones. After discovering kidney stones, patients should have them removed and treated as soon as possible. No matter how big or small the stones are, if they are not treated in time, they may cause damage to the kidneys and lead to diseases such as acute nephritis. In daily life, patients should increase the amount of drinking water to increase the excretion of urine, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of new stones. When undergoing minimally invasive surgical treatment for kidney stones, choose a professional and regular hospital for treatment, and consult the attending doctor for the specific cost.
