The process of laser lithotripsy for kidney stones

Patients undergoing laser lithotripsy for renal calculi need anesthesia. The main process is to send ureteroscopy to the site of the stone, introduce optical fiber into the body through ureteroscopy, and then use laser to crush the stones into smaller particles and then expel them from the body.

Patients should take drugs such as terazosin under the guidance of doctors, and drink plenty of water every day. Double J tubes are usually placed and need to be removed one month later. Patients should also regularly review color Doppler ultrasound and liver function, pay attention to maintenance, eat regularly, and exercise properly. If any postoperative discomfort occurs, it is recommended that patients seek medical advice in time
