Laser kidney stone removal is painless, as no cuts are made during the procedure.
A scope is inserted through the penis under spinal anesthesia to reach the kidney.
The laser safely dissolves kidney stones during the procedure, which takes 40–50 minutes.
A catheter drains the bladder, and a stent is placed in the kidney after the procedure.
Patients can walk the same evening, stay one night, and return in six weeks for stent removal.
