Read the four-step explanationText version
  1. Create a direct access route.

    Under anaesthesia and imaging guidance, a small tract is made through the back or side into the kidney.

  2. Break the stone into pieces.

    A telescope enters through the tract. A laser, ultrasound or another instrument breaks the stone.

  3. Clear pieces through the tract.

    Fragments are removed with instruments or suction through the access sheath.

  4. Check drainage and recovery.

    A temporary kidney drainage tube or ureteric stent may be used. Follow-up assesses recovery and stone clearance.

After a procedure, fever, severe pain, inability to pass urine or heavy bleeding needs urgent medical assessment. Follow your hospital’s discharge instructions.
