What is Kidney Stone Treatment?
Kidney stone treatment focuses on removing or dissolving hard mineral deposits that form inside the kidneys, commonly known as kidney stones.
These stones develop when minerals such as calcium, oxalate, or uric acid crystallize in the urine and gradually form small solid particles. Over time, these particles can grow larger and move into the ureter, causing severe pain, burning during urination, blood in urine, or urinary blockage.
Kidney stones are medically referred to as renal calculi (nephrolithiasis).
At his clinic in Mumbai, Dr. Siddhant Bolar, Consultant Urologist & Renal Transplant Surgeon, provides advanced kidney stone treatment in Mumbai using minimally invasive endoscopic and laser techniques that help remove stones safely while preserving kidney function.
Benefits & Features of Kidney Stone Treatment
Modern kidney stone treatment has evolved significantly in the last decade. Today, minimally invasive endoscopic surgery and laser technology allow doctors to treat stones safely with very small incisions or no incisions at all.
Minimally Invasive Procedures
Advanced endoscopic techniques remove stones without large surgical cuts.
Treatments
Non-Surgical Kidney Stone Treatment (Medicinal Treatment)
Not all kidney stones require surgery. In many cases, small stones can pass naturally with the help of medications and lifestyle adjustments. The treatment approach depends on the size, location, and type of the stone. At his clinic in Mumbai, Dr. Siddhant Bolar carefully evaluates each patient before recommending any procedure, and whenever possible, treatment begins with non-surgical options to help the stone pass safely.
Medicinal treatment for kidney stones may include medications that relieve pain, relax the urinary passage, and support the natural passage of the stone through urine.
When medicinal treatment is recommended
Medicinal management is usually considered when:
- The kidney stone is small in size (typically less than 5–6 mm)
- There is no blockage of urine flow
- The patient is not experiencing severe infection or complications
- The stone is likely to pass naturally
If the stone does not pass naturally or symptoms worsen, advanced procedures such as RIRS, URS, or PCNL may be recommended for safe removal.
Surgical Kidney Stone Treatment by Dr. Siddhant Bolar
PCNL – Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
Best for large kidney stones
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive procedure used for large or complex kidney stones that cannot pass naturally or be treated with simpler methods.
In this procedure, a small keyhole incision is made in the back to access the kidney directly. Specialized instruments are then used to break and remove the stone.
Benefits
URS – Ureteroscopy
Best for stones in the ureter
Ureteroscopy (URS) is used to treat stones located in the ureter – the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder.
During this procedure, a thin scope called a ureteroscope is passed through the urinary passage to reach the stone. A laser is then used to break the stone into smaller fragments that can pass naturally.
Benefits
RIRS – Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery
Advanced laser treatment for kidney stones
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) is one of the most advanced minimally invasive procedures used to treat kidney stones.
A flexible scope is passed through the urinary passage into the kidney, where a laser is used to break the stone into very fine particles that can pass through urine.
