Hospital for kidney stones treatment, Best treatment method for kidney stones, Professional treatment for kidney stones

"Agony!!!" This was the biggest lament of Mr. Wang, who is nearing 40 years old, when he came to our hospital for treatment. Three years ago, Mr. Wang experienced severe lower back pain and visited a hospital near his home. He was diagnosed with kidney stones and, following the doctor's advice, underwent surgery. The surgery went smoothly at the time, but four months after the operation, Mr. Wang noticed that not only had his condition not improved, but he also felt even more discomfort in his body, causing him immense suffering.

"Ho:YAG Laser Lithotripsy" - The "Gold Standard"

The Department of Urology at our hospital was the first in the province to introduce the most advanced international "Ho:YAG Laser Lithotripsy Treatment System." This minimally invasive procedure removes urinary tract stones without open surgery. It is safe, reliable, precise, causes no bleeding, works quickly, and thoroughly fragments stones, turning any stone regardless of its hardness or size into powder. This has brought about a qualitative leap in the treatment of urinary tract stones within the province and has the potential to become the "gold standard" for intracorporeal lithotripsy.

1. Accurate, Rapid, and Thorough Water Absorption Characteristics: The Ho:YAG laser possesses exceptional stone-breaking capabilities and can efficiently crush urinary tract stones of various compositions. Unlike regular lasers that break stones through shockwave principles, the Ho:YAG laser breaks stones through thermal effects, determined by its strong water absorption characteristics.

2. Thermal Hemostasis, Pain-Free, Safe, and Reliable: During the stone-breaking process, the Ho:YAG laser does not exert significant force on the stones. Its penetration depth does not exceed 0.5mm, causing no noticeable damage to tissues, making it currently the most efficient intracorporeal stone crusher. The residual heat generated by the laser also has an evident hemostatic effect, posing minimal risk of thermal injury to surrounding tissues and eliminating the danger of perforation or bleeding.

3. High Success Rate Due to "Drilling Effect": The success rate of Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy using the "Gesait" system is high. Through a "drilling effect," the stones are vaporized and expelled from the body as fine particles. Under endoscopic guidance, the single-session success rate of "Gesait" Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy exceeds 95%, reaching 100% for bladder stones. It can also simultaneously treat combined conditions such as urinary tract tumors, ureteral polyps, and stenosis. The average surgery time is 25 minutes, with a hospital stay of less than three days. Bladder stone treatments can be performed in outpatient settings. Since the stone fragments produced by the "Gesait" Ho:YAG laser are finer (powder-like), the post-lithotripsy stone expulsion time is significantly shortened.

It is clear that the Ho:YAG laser can effectively turn urinary tract stones of any location and composition into powder using its unique high-efficiency stone-breaking method. This makes it a highly effective, safe, low-cost, time-saving, and side-effect minimal "new weapon" for treating urinary tract stones. According to Director Feng, so far, the hospital has used ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy with "Gesait" Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy to treat over 500 cases of different complex types of renal stones, bladder stones, and ureteral stones. Post-surgery, patients experience fewer complications, recover faster, have shorter hospital stays, achieve good therapeutic effects, and patient satisfaction reaches 99%. Especially for elderly and weak patients with poor cardiac and pulmonary function who cannot tolerate surgery, Ho:YAG laser treatment shows superior advantages and is currently an effective new method for treating urinary tract stones.
