Treatment of renal calculi with lithotripsy

summary

Kidney stones are the most common diseases in Department of urology. The incidence rate of urinary calculi in southern China is very high, and the incidence rate of male is higher than that of females. There are many reasons that affect the formation of stones, among which diet, environment and occupation have the greatest impact on the formation of stones. Excessive intake of calcium containing substances makes it easy to form stones in the body. For smaller stones, conservative treatment, medication and proper beating are usually taken. Small stones are removed from the ureter through the ureter. Different stone clinical treatment is different, can not blindly take a certain method, but according to the situation of the stone to make a decision. Here is the treatment of renal calculi.

Treatment of renal calculi with lithotripsy

First: Patients with renal calculi often have pain in the renal area (the angle between the twelfth rib and the spine), showing colic nature. At the same time, patients will have hematuria, some of which can be seen by naked eyes. At the same time, because of the infection, patients may have bladder irritation, and patients will have clinical manifestations of urgency and frequent urination.

Second: lithotripsy and surgical treatment are commonly used in clinical treatment. However, extracorporeal lithotripsy is generally suitable for stones with small diameter. At the same time, patients with urinary tract infection and other diseases are not suitable for extracorporeal lithotripsy. The effect of lithotripsy has a great relationship with the location of stones in the kidney and the nature of stones. Sometimes patients with too large stones may need multiple lithotripsy, and some smaller stones may remain in the ureter, when the stones are not discharged smoothly.

Third: surgical treatment is mainly through minimally invasive lithotomy, through ureteroscopy, laparoscopy, etc., to find the stones under the mirror, and remove the stones with relevant chips. The stones removed by this method are relatively large, which has a good effect for single large stones, but the operation is relatively difficult, and the effect for complex stones is not good. Nowadays, lithotripsy and surgical treatment are usually combined in clinic to achieve the best effect.

matters needing attention

Minimally invasive surgery is more traumatic than lithotripsy, so it should be used in combination as far as possible. At the same time, patients should drink a lot of water after operation, which can dilute the concentration of stones and reduce the deposition of solids. Adults should drink at least 2000 ml of water every day, and pay attention to diet control.
