As a kidney stone passes through your urinary tract, the pain it causes may alter - for example, migrating to a new spot or rising in intensity.

There are 4 most popular ways for the removal of Kidney Stones:

• Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL), or Lithotripsy
• Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy(PCNL)/ Tunnel Surgery
• Ureteroscopy
• Parathyroid gland surgery

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL), also known as Lithotripsy- Your doctor may advise extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for certain kidney stones, depending on their size and location.

Sound waves (shock waves) are used by ESWL to break the stones into little bits that can be passed in your urine. Because the operation takes 45 to 60 minutes and might be painful, you may be given sedative or light anesthesia to help you relax.

As the stone fragments migrate through the urinary tract, ESWL can cause blood in the urine, bruising on the back or abdomen, bleeding around the kidney and other nearby organs, and discomfort.

The treatment is efficient in removing stones from the kidneys and ureters without requiring surgery to do it.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)– is a treatment in which a kidney stone is surgically removed using small telescopes and instruments placed through a small incision in your back.

During the procedure, you will be sedated and will be admitted to the hospital for one to two days to recover. If ESWL fails, your doctor may propose this operation.

Ureteroscopy – A narrow lighted tube (ureteroscope) equipped with a camera may be sent through your urethra and bladder to your ureter to remove a tiny stone in your ureter or kidney.

Once the stone has been identified, it can be snared or broken into bits that will pass through your urine with the use of specific tools. To decrease swelling and improve healing, your doctor may insert a tiny tube (stent) into the ureter. During this treatment, you may require general or local anesthetic.

Parathyroid Gland Operation – Overactive parathyroid glands, which are positioned on the four corners of your thyroid gland, just below your Adam's apple, can create calcium phosphate stones. When these glands create too much parathyroid hormone (hyperparathyroidism), your calcium levels rise to dangerously high levels, which can lead to kidney stones.

When a small, benign tumor grows in one of your parathyroid glands or you have another illness that causes these glands to produce extra parathyroid hormone, you may develop hyperparathyroidism. Kidney stones are prevented by removing the growth from the gland. Alternatively, your doctor may suggest treating the problem that is causing your parathyroid gland to release too much hormone.
