Treating kidney stones may or not involve surgery. Ninety percent of patients, does not have to perform the operation because your body can expel the disease. But what happens to the remaining ten percent?

Here, the doctor will make small cuts on your back to make a tunnel into the kidney. The stone will then be removed using a tool known as nephroscope. If the stone is too large, will use the investigation of energy (energy probes). There are two types of ultrasonic and elektrohidrolik.

Third, known as ureteroscopic stone removal. Here, a small fiber optic instrument walk through the urethra and bladder to reach the ureter. Once it got inside, the stone was found and destroyed with a special device that emits a shock wave. After surgery, the tube will be installed in the uterer for a few days to help heal the lining the ureter.

The fourth option is open surgery. Basically, the doctor will open the affected area and then picked up kidney stones. It is also possible to inject a solution consisting of calcium chloride, cyroprecipitate, thrombin and indigo carmine into the kidney, the first to trap the stones in a jelly-like clumps and therefore will be easy to lift it using forceps.

Kidney stones can come back again, even after your surgery. If this happens, it means you do not take precautions.
