Advanced Kidney Stone Treatments at Mandaya Royal Puri Hospital
The presence of Prof. Ponco elevates the level of care at the Kidney Stone Center. In addition to being led by a top expert in urology, the center is also equipped with state-of-the-art medical technology for effective and minimally invasive kidney stone treatment, such as:
-
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)
RIRS is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat kidney stones or other upper urinary tract conditions. It involves using a flexible ureteroscope, inserted through the urethra up to the kidney. The stones are then broken down using a laser or other specialized tools—without any external incisions.
-
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)
PCNL is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove kidney stones that are too large to be treated with other methods. A small incision is made in the back to access the kidney, where the stones are broken up and extracted.
