Urinary tract stone disease is among the common urological problems that can occur in the kidney, ureter and bladder, causing pain and obstruction of the urinary tract. The size and location of the stones and the patient's clinical status are the main factors determining the treatment method to be applied.
Endoscopic treatment methods offer minimally invasive approaches for treating stone disease without any surgical incision, allowing both diagnosis and treatment to be managed more comfortably and safely.
Diagnosing stone disease involves evaluating the patient's complaints, imaging methods and laboratory tests together. Tests such as ultrasonography and computed tomography clarify the size, number and location of the stone.
This evaluation determines the suitability of endoscopic treatment and plans the method to be used.
Endoscopic treatment for stone disease covers methods performed through the urinary tract without any incision in the body. Special endoscopic devices are used to reach the stones, which are then fragmented or removed to restore the patency of the urinary tract.
Endoscopic methods offer advantages such as a high success rate, a shorter recovery time and a quick return to daily life. With proper patient selection, the aim is to achieve safe and effective results.
Patients are followed with regular check-ups after treatment. Factors that contribute to stone formation are evaluated, and recommendations to prevent recurrence may be planned.
The goal of the treatment process is to effectively clear the stone, relieve pain and preserve urinary system function.
