Ureteroscopy
An outpatient endoscopic surgery that accesses the ureters and kidneys per the urethra to fragment and remove the stones. Many patients who undergo ureteroscopy (URS), Shockwave lithotripsy (SWL), or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) also have temporary tubes placed after the surgery to facilitate drainage, either internally (a stent) or externally (a nephrostomy tube).
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
A minimally invasive surgery in which a \~1cm flank incision is made, and a scope is passed through a tubular sheath into the kidney to fragment and remove the stone. There is typically a 1- to 2-day hospital stay. Many patients who undergo URS, SWL, or PCNL also have temporary tubes placed after the surgery to facilitate drainage, either internally (a stent) or externally (a nephrostomy tube).
Shock Wave Lithotripsy
A non-invasive outpatient procedure that targets stones in the kidney or ureter with x-ray or ultrasound and uses shockwaves generated outside the body to fragment them; the fragments pass down the ureter and the patient expels them in the urine. Many patients who undergo URS, SWL, or PCNL also have temporary tubes placed after the surgery to facilitate drainage, either internally (a stent) or externally (a nephrostomy tube).
