Kidney Stone Surgery (RIRS / PCNL)

We treat kidney stones mostly without incisions: RIRS laser lithotripsy for smaller stones, single-puncture PCNL for large and staghorn stones.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Incision-Free Laser Treatment (RIRS)

A flexible ureteroscope is advanced through the urinary tract; the stone is reached without any incision and pulverized with laser.

Named Technology: Holmium/Thulium Fiber Laser

Latest-generation laser lithotripsy systems that fragment stones with millimetric precision, regardless of stone hardness.

Single Puncture for Large Stones (Mini-PCNL)

A high stone-free rate for staghorn and large kidney stones through a single millimetric percutaneous access.

High Stone-Free Rate

Complete clearance of the stone in a single session (stone-free) is our priority (the rate varies by patient and stone).

Rapid Recovery

Incision-free or millimetric access means less pain, a short hospital stay and a fast return to daily life.

International Patient Support

End-to-end international patient services including visa, transfer, accommodation and medical interpreter.

Insurance & agreements

Transparent payment with contracted institutions and private insurers, at home and abroad.

Accommodation & rooms

Companion-friendly modern patient rooms and in-city accommodation support.

International patient services

Visa, airport transfer and 24/7 multilingual medical interpreters.

TREATMENT TIMELINE

From day one to discharge

The timeline below is an average and varies by patient, diagnosis and clinical status. Exact timing and all included services are detailed in your personalized treatment offer.
Application
With CT imaging and urine/blood tests, the size, location and hardness of the stone are evaluated and the appropriate method is determined.
Planning
A personalized treatment plan (RIRS, mini-PCNL, PCNL or URS) and a transparent, guaranteed quote are shared with you.
Procedure
Under general anesthesia, with an incision-free (RIRS/URS) or millimetric-access (mini-PCNL/PCNL) method, the stone is fragmented with laser and cleared; a DJ stent is placed if needed.
Recovery
Most patients mobilize quickly; the hospital stay is usually short and a rapid recovery is targeted.
Follow-up
If used, the DJ stent is removed shortly after; stone-free status is confirmed with imaging and recurrence-prevention advice is provided.
Every treatment offer is presented in full detail — accommodation, transfer, interpreter and follow-up included — clearly stating what is covered.
