Fast, Minimally Invasive Relief from Kidney Stone Pain
Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts (such as calcium or uric acid) that form inside your kidneys. While small stones may pass naturally with proper hydration, larger stones can become lodged in the urinary tract. This blockage prevents urine flow, causing excruciating pain, swelling, and potential infections. At MedgoPlus Health Care, our urology specialists quickly diagnose the exact size and location of your stone to provide the most effective, least invasive treatment plan.
Watch Out for These Symptoms
A kidney stone may not cause symptoms until it moves around within the kidney or passes into your ureter. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:
• Severe, sharp pain in your back, side, lower abdomen, or groin that comes in waves.
• Pain or a burning sensation while urinating.
• Pink, red, brown, cloudy, or foul-smelling urine.
• A constant need to urinate or urinating in small amounts.
• Nausea and vomiting, or fever and chills (which may indicate a severe infection).

Our Treatment Approach
We focus on breaking down and clearing stones quickly so you can recover comfortably. Depending on the size, type, and location of your stone, our expert urologists offer:
1. Ureteroscopy with Laser Lithotripsy (RIRS) This is a highly effective, no-incision procedure for stones trapped in the kidney or ureter. Our surgeons pass a tiny, flexible scope through the natural urinary tract to locate the stone. A precision laser is then used to break the stone into fine dust, which is safely washed out or removed. Most patients go home the same day.
2. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) For smaller stones, this completely non-invasive treatment uses targeted sound waves from outside the body to break the kidney stone into tiny fragments. These fragments are then passed naturally through your urine over the next few days.
3. Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL / Mini-PCNL) Reserved for very large or complex stones (often over 2 centimeters), this minimally invasive surgery involves making a tiny “keyhole” incision in the back. Using a specialized scope and ultrasonic energy, our surgeons break up and directly remove the large stone, ensuring complete clearance and preventing future blockages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Stones smaller than 4 to 5 mm often pass on their own with plenty of water and medication. However, stones larger than 6 to 7 mm usually require medical intervention. We use ultrasound or CT scans to accurately measure your stone and advise the safest course of action.
No, procedures like Ureteroscopy with Laser Lithotripsy are performed under anesthesia, so you will not feel anything during the surgery. Post-procedure discomfort is generally mild, manageable, and temporary.
For ESWL and laser ureteroscopy, most patients return home the same day and can resume normal light activities within 2 to 3 days. PCNL may require a 1 to 2-day hospital stay and about a week of recovery.
