Procedures
Urology & Kidney Stone Programme Services at Prime Hospital
URSL (Ureteroscopy)
Minimally invasive removal of ureter stones using a small ureteroscope — no incision required.
RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery)
Flexible ureteroscope reaches stones deep inside the kidney — ideal for stones in difficult locations.
PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy)
Small-puncture access for large or complex kidney stones — typically needed for stones above 2 cm.
ESWL (Shock Wave Lithotripsy)
Non-invasive sound waves break up kidney or ureter stones without any incision or scope insertion.
Laser Lithotripsy
Holmium laser energy precisely fragments stones during ureteroscopy — very effective for hard stones.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best treatment for a 1 cm kidney stone?
For a 1 cm kidney stone, RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) or PCNL may be recommended depending on stone location and density. Our urologist will decide based on your imaging.
Is kidney stone surgery available in Ramgarh?
Yes — Prime Hospital's comprehensive stone programme offers URSL, RIRS, PCNL, ESWL, and Laser Lithotripsy in Ramgarh. No need to travel to Ranchi.
What does ESWL (shock wave lithotripsy) feel like?
ESWL is non-invasive and usually done under mild sedation. Most patients find it tolerable. It's best for stones under 2 cm in accessible locations.
Is PCNL surgery safe?
PCNL has a very high success rate for large kidney stones and is performed through a small puncture — not a large open incision. Recovery is faster than traditional open surgery.
