Benefits of Laser Kidney Stone surgery
Laser kidney stone surgery is also known as laser
lithotripsy, laser lithotripsy is a medical
procedure which is generally used to break down
stones present in the kidney and the urinary
tract using shock and laser beams, these laser
beam breakdowns the stones that are being
developed in the gallbladder urethra and the
kidneys. The remaining part of the breakdown of
the stones is automatically filtered by the body
when the person urinates.
What is Laser kidney stone surgery-
It is most commonly used to rupture the stones
present in urinary tract, gallbladder and
kidneys. Sometimes this stone present in the
kidneys are very much small enough that it
automatically filters out through the body by
urination but in cases when the size of stone is
enhanced or its big it can lead to blockage of
urinary track which blocks the urine flow and
cause excessive pain. 
If the stones does not pass properly it can also
damage the kidneys and the whole urinary tract
when medication does not help the patient to
recover from kidney stones this is the procedure
which is done to prevent kidney stones and its
outburst. This procedure generally involves a
flexible laser fiber which is inserted through a
scope (camera) placed in the urinary tract via
the urethra which helps to break up the stones
present in the track or the Kidneys. The stone
fragments are then removed with a small basket or
other instruments.

This procedure does not involve any incisions or
cuts. Laser kidney stone surgery involves the
administration of a series of shock waves to the
targeted stone or the site of stone.lithotripter
is the machine that is used to generate the shock
waves, are focused by x-ray onto the kidney
stone. The shock aur the radiation waves travel
into the body through the skin and the tissues
and then reaches the stone where it breakdown
into small fragments. For several weeks following
treatment, those small fragments are passed out
of the body in the urine.
