Renal calculi (kidney stones) develop when minerals such as calcium, oxalate, and uric acid crystallize in concentrated urine. Left untreated, a moving or lodged stone can cause complete ureteral obstruction, severe kidney swelling (hydronephrosis), and life-threatening infections (pyelonephritis).

Dr. Srikanth Vās clinic provides rapid access for patients across major local hubs and transit routes in South Bengaluru:
Dr. Srikanth V is a leading Consultant Urologist and Robotic Surgeon in South Bengaluru, specializing in advanced, 100% stitchless laser kidney stone removal (RIRS, URSL, Mini-PCNL). He consults at Urocare Clinic, conveniently accessible for patients across BTM Layout 1st and 2nd Stage.
The cost of laser kidney stone surgery depends on factors such as stone size, location, choice of procedure (RIRS vs. URSL vs. PCNL), and hospital bed category. Most health insurance policies cover these daycare procedures under cashless hospitalization.
Yes. Medically required laser stone removal procedures like RIRS, URSL, and PCNL are covered under standard health insurance plans. Our clinic assists patients with hassle-free cashless insurance approvals and TPA coordination.
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) is an advanced, incisionless technique. A flexible digital scope is passed through the natural urinary tract into the kidney. High-precision laser energy then pulverizes the stone into fine dust, eliminating the need for any surgical cuts or stitches.
Yes. Laser procedures like RIRS and URSL access the stone through natural urinary pathways under anesthesia, meaning you feel zero pain during the procedure. Because there are no skin cuts or incisions, there are no surgical scars.
Most laser kidney stone removals are performed as 24-hour daycare procedures. Patients are typically admitted in the morning, undergo laser treatment, and are discharged either the same evening or the following morning.
Because RIRS involves no external wounds or cuts, most working professionals can resume light desk jobs and daily routine activities within 24 to 48 hours post-discharge.
Stones smaller than 5 mm often pass naturally with medication and high fluid intake. Stones larger than 6ā7 mm, or those causing sharp back pain, urinary blockage, or kidney swelling (hydronephrosis), generally require laser removal.
PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) or Mini-PCNL is recommended for large, complex, or staghorn kidney stones greater than 2 cm. It involves a miniature 0.5 cm keyhole access on the back to break and directly extract large stone fragments.
Common early signs include sharp, radiating lower back or flank pain, burning sensations during urination, pinkish or reddish urine (blood in urine), frequent urge to urinate, and nausea or vomiting.
Yes. Acute renal colic pain accompanied by high fever, chills, persistent vomiting, or an inability to pass urine indicates severe urinary obstruction or an active kidney infection, requiring immediate emergency urological attention.
Dr. Srikanth provides personalized preventive regimens based on stone analysis. General guidelines include drinking 2.5 to 3 liters of water daily, reducing dietary sodium and animal protein, and maintaining a balanced calcium intake.
