Kidney stone operation cost
Kidney stone surgery is typically recommended when stones are too large to pass naturally ( more then 10 mm) , cause severe pain, or lead to complications like infections or kidney damage.
The type of procedure depends on the size, location, and composition of the stones. Here are the main surgical options:
1. Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL)
Best for: Small to medium stones in the kidney or upper ureter.
Procedure: Uses sound waves to break the stone into smaller pieces, which can then pass through urine.
Recovery: Outpatient procedure with mild discomfort.
Kidney stone operation cost – 30,000-55,000
2. Ureteroscopy (URS)
Best for: Stones in the ureter or kidney.
Procedure: A thin scope is inserted through the urethra to remove or break up the stone using a laser.
Recovery: Quick recovery, usually outpatient.
Kidney stone operation cost – 35,000- 70,000
3. Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)
Best for: Large kidney stones or multiple stones.
Procedure: A small incision is made in the back to insert instruments that remove or break the stones.
Recovery: Requires hospitalization for 1-2 days.
Kidney stone operation cost – 60,000- 85,000
4. Open Surgery (Rarely Used)
Best for: Very large or complicated stones.
Procedure: A surgical incision is made to remove the stone.
Recovery: Longer hospital stay and recovery time.
