by James Decosta Personal Trainer

Kidney stone also referred to as Renal calculi is a hard, crystalline mineral material formed within the kidney or urinary tract. Normally, urine contains chemicals that prevent or inhibit the crystals from forming. These inhibitors do not seem to work for everyone, however, so some people form stones. If the crystals remain tiny enough, they will travel through the urinary tract and pass out of the body in the urine without being noticed.

Hospitals like Apollo, Fortis, and B L Kapur are to name a few when it comes to the best hospital for kidney stone treatment in Delhi.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is the most frequently used procedure in which stones break down into small particles and are easily passed through the urinary tract in the urine In ESWL, shock waves that are created outside the body travel through the skin and body tissues until they hit the denser stones. The stones break down into small particles and are easily passed through the urinary tract in the urine. In Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy, the best hospital for kidney stone in Delhi use an instrument called a nephroscope to makes a tiny incision in the back and creates a tunnel directly into the kidney. The stone is then located and removed. Ureteroscopic Stone Removal or ureteroscopy may be needed for mid- and lower-ureter stones. Incision is not required in this procedure instead a small fiberoptic instrument called as a ureteroscope is passed through the urethra and bladder into the ureter. The stone is then located and removed with a cage-like device or shattered with a special instrument that produces a form of shock waves.
