Kidney stone care

A clear plan for kidney and ureteric stones.

Understanding your care

Dr. Manpreet’s endourology experience includes ureteroscopy (URS), retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). A consultation brings your symptoms, scans and test results together to discuss the appropriate next step.

01

URS

A fine scope is passed through the urinary passage to reach a stone in the ureter.

02

RIRS

A flexible scope passes through the urinary tract to reach stones within the kidney.

03

PCNL

A small access tract through the back allows instruments to reach kidney stones.

Before your consultation

Bring previous ultrasound or CT images, urine and blood test results, and a list of current medicines. The choice of treatment depends on stone size, location, symptoms and your overall health.

This page offers general information. A consultation is needed to establish a diagnosis and personalised treatment plan. Outcomes and recovery vary.

Burning, blood in urine and stent discomfort can occur. Follow the discharge plan and agreed follow-up.

Risks to discuss. Discuss infection, ureter injury or narrowing, residual stones and possible repeat treatment.

Read the four-step explanationText version

  1. Follow the natural passage.

    Under anaesthesia, a thin telescope passes through the urethra and bladder into the ureter, the tube linking kidney and bladder.

  2. Make the stone smaller.

    A laser or another stone-breaking instrument divides the stone. The close-up illustrates laser treatment.

  3. Collect the fragments.

    A small basket can retrieve pieces. Some fine fragments may pass in urine; further treatment is sometimes needed.

  4. Support drainage and healing.

    A temporary ureteric stent may support drainage. If one is used, confirm when and how it will be removed.
