Laser Lithotripsy
Laser Lithotripsy Treatment
Treatment Range Hospital in Hyderabad offers advanced Laser Lithotripsy — a safe and effective procedure for treating kidney and ureteral stones using precision laser technology. This minimally invasive technique uses a thin ureteroscope combined with a laser fiber to break down stones into fine fragments, which are either removed or passed naturally. It is ideal for patients with stones that are too large, hard, or located in areas difficult to reach with traditional methods.
Our expert urologists at Treatment Range Hospital conduct a thorough diagnostic evaluation, including imaging tests such as ultrasound or CT scans, to determine the best course of treatment. Laser Lithotripsy is typically performed under anesthesia and involves minimal pain, no major incisions, and a short recovery period. We prioritize safety, accuracy, and personalized care to ensure optimal outcomes and patient satisfaction.
If you’re searching for Laser Lithotripsy in Hyderabad, Treatment Range Hospital is recognized for its cutting-edge technology, skilled urology team, and ethical medical practices. We provide reliable, affordable kidney stone treatment options for patients seeking fast relief with minimal downtime.
- Your 6 - Phase health Process
Your Complete Laser Lithotripsy Journey
👨⚕️ Phase 1: Symptom Identification
- Sharp back or flank pain (renal colic)
- Blood in urine (hematuria)
- Burning sensation while urinating
- Frequent urge to urinate
- Fever/chills if infection is present
- Nausea or vomiting due to pain
🩺 Phase 2: Urology Consultation
- Medical history and symptom review
- Physical examination
- Urine analysis and culture
- Blood tests (renal function, infection markers)
- Initial imaging (ultrasound or X-ray)
🔬 Phase 3: Diagnosis & Imaging
- CT KUB (Kidney, Ureter, Bladder) scan – gold standard
- X-ray or IVP (if CT is not available)
- Identification of stone size, position, and density
- Assessment of kidney function before surgery
⚙️ Phase 4: Treatment Planning
- RIRS is best for stones <2 cm in the kidney or upper ureter
- Performed under general anesthesia
- No external incisions — fully endoscopic via urethra
- Preoperative counseling, fasting guidelines, and anesthesia clearance
- Stent placement before surgery (optional, in complex cases)
🔦 Phase 5: URS Procedure
- A thin flexible ureteroscope is passed through the urethra into the kidney
- A Holmium laser is used to break the stone into dust (dusting technique) or fragments
- Fine fragments pass naturally in urine over time
- A temporary stent may be placed to aid drainage and healing
💪 Phase 6: Postoperative Care & Recovery
- Usually a day-care or 24-hour admission
- Mild burning or blood in urine may occur temporarily
- Resume daily activities in 2–3 days
- Avoid strenuous activity for 1–2 weeks
- Stent (if placed) is removed in 1–2 weeks
- Follow-up imaging to confirm complete stone clearance
- Hydration, diet, and metabolic evaluation to prevent recurrence

Helping you understand Our healthcare
RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to break kidney or upper ureter stones into fine dust or small fragments. The procedure is performed using a flexible ureteroscope passed through the natural urinary passage (urethra), with no cuts or stitches involved.
RIRS is typically recommended for:
Kidney stones smaller than 2 cm
Stones not suitable for ESWL (shock wave therapy)
Patients with bleeding disorders (due to minimal trauma)
Stones in difficult-to-access kidney locations
Residual stones after previous surgery.
The procedure usually takes 45–90 minutes, depending on the size and number of stones. Patients are typically discharged the same day or within 24 hours.
RIRS has a very high success rate (90–95%) for small and mid-sized kidney stones. In some cases, a second session may be needed for complete clearance.
Your doctor may recommend:
Drinking 2.5–3 liters of water daily
Limiting salt and oxalate-rich foods
Following a stone-specific diet plan
Performing a metabolic evaluation for recurrent cases
Taking prescribed medications
