·        Treatments technology

The first thing to look for is the kidney stone treatments technology that is available in the center. It is possible to treat kidney stone using 2 different methods or in combinations. The first process is known as ESWL or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, in which sound waves are passed to the stone in kidney of the patient and the waves focusing on the stone, pulverizes it by shearing effect... The minute crystals which are broken down are then passed through the urine of the patient. This is a painless and noninvasive procedure but is only suitable for kidney stones that are less than 20mm in size and in upper ureter or kidneys. You might also need to have more than one visit to the doctor as the complete removal of stone with this process takes few sessions.

The other one is called PCNL or percutaneous nephrolithotomy. In this procedure, a small tube is passed from the flank region to the kidney of the patient and the stone is converted to poedered form by the laser energy passed through this tube. This tube is fitted with a camera, which allows the doctor to make precise and accurate actions. It is a minimally invasive procedure and does not leave any lasting scars or marks on the body. It is used mostly for stones which are bigger in size that 2mm and cannot be removed through ESWL.

Other options are RIRS,URS and cystoscopy in which ureteroscope (a thin hollow tube with a camera ) is passed through the natural urinary passage to the stone and lasers are made to contact and pulverize the stone .No cut is needed during these procedures as natural urinary tract is used for the approach.
