Kidney Stone Laser Surgery
About Kidney Stone Laser Surgery
Kidney stone laser surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove stones from the urinary tract. The procedure involves inserting a thin flexible scope through the urethra into the urinary system to locate the stone. A laser is then used to break the stone into tiny fragments that can be removed or passed naturally through urine.
