Kidney Stone Removal Cost in Mumbai

The following pre-procedure guidelines will be taken care of by the doctor and some of them will also need to be followed by you:

• Determining the size and location of stones - Before the operation, the doctor will determine the size, number, and location of stones. He/she will inject a dye into a vein that travels through the kidney and ureter to highlight the stones. They are then seen by the doctor on an X-ray. 
• Medications – Avoid taking certain medications like blood thinners and pain killers like aspirin and ibuprofen as they may interfere with the blood clotting. 
• Avoid Smoking – Avoid smoking for a few days before the procedure to prevent blood clotting issues. 
• Fasting – A person might need to fast for 8 – 12 hours before the operation as he will be given anesthesia. 

What happens during Kidney Stone Laser Operation? 

Firstly, the patient will be given anesthesia to numb the pain and ensure that the patient is relaxed throughout the procedure. Once, the anesthesia comes into effect, the doctor will try and determine the size, number, and location of the stones using dyes and X-rays. 

Once the stones are located, the doctor will send a series of high energy laser beams to target and destroy the stones in the ureter. The patient may feel slight buzzing on their skin during this. Once, the stones are small enough to pass through the urinary system, the procedure ends. However, depending on the size of the stone and your physical condition, the doctor may place a stent inside the urinary system, which will ease in the passage of stones.

After the procedure is completed, the following guidelines need to be taken care of: 
- The patient may still experience pain post-operation. If there's a stent placed between the excretory organ and ureter, you will experience pain from the stent rubbing on your bladder.
- The patient might feel a constant urge to urinate and you may find some blood in the urine. Visiting the doctor is highly recommended if if there's heavy bleeding or too much discomfort.
- The patient is required to take the medication as prescribed by the doctor as it will prevent infection.
- Drinking plenty of water in the next few days for easy passage of stones is also recommended.
- Patients undergoing this treatment can resume normal activities from the very next day. However, they should avoid high-intensity workouts and follow up with the doctor whenever required
