LASER treatment for stones
Holmium StoneLight is a low powered Holmium laser predominantly useful in managing small urinary stone diseases.
Holmium StoneLight laser is one of the best modalities available in today’s world to treat urinary stone disease effectively, regardless of stone composition.
It should not be mistaken for ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy) which is a non-invasive method to treat only a certain type of stones.
The StoneLight laser system is a solid state Holmium:YAG laser designed specifically to fragment stones in all areas of the urinary tract, including difficult to reach and tight spaces.
The advantage of laser therapy in managing urinary stone disease is predominantly by effectively fragmenting stones with less surrounding tissue damage.
This laser can also be used for a few other conditions, such as managing small bladder cancers, urethral stricture disease (constriction of the urethra by scar tissue), and to conservatively manage small ureteric tumors.
