Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL): In this, shock waves from a source outside the body are used to break the stone into small fragments that can pass out of the body with urine. Patients may feel some pain as the stone fragments pass through the urinary tract.
Percutaneous stone removal: This form of treatment is used when the stone is very large or located in an area where ESWL is not effective. The surgeon makes a very small incision in the back and creates a tunnel leading to the kidney. The stone is then removed through a tube called the nephroscope.
Urethroscopic stone removal: The surgeon passes a small fiber optic instrument through the urethra and bladder into the ureters. Once the stone is located, it is removed with a cage-like device, or shattered with laser beams or shock waves.
