If discovered early, kidney
stones can often be treated with a simple, noninvasive procedure, so
incisions and recovery time are greatly reduced. Many times, Ventura
County Urology Medical Group can resolve kidney stone problems
using modern techniques such as:
• Extra Corporeal
Lithotripsy – Using shock waves, we shatter kidney stones into
little more than dust, which is then passed without pain over the
following weeks.
• Holmium Laser – Using
this minimally invasive, state-of-the-art procedure, a laser
disintegrates potentially painful stones.
• Percutaneous
"no-incision" kidney surgery.
More than 1 million kidney stone
cases will
be diagnosed this year.
And even though you may be a
candidate for open surgery, you can rest assured that it will be
avoided if another, less stressful technique can do the job.
Almost half of all people
with kidney stones will have new stones within five years, but Drs.
Emery and Beaghler can show you how regular checkups and therapy can
prevent more kidney stones. This education is a key part of the
trusting, caring relationships Ventura County Urology Medical
Group works to establish.
