Urinary lithiasis: the importance of treating this disease in time (P2)

Edited by: at 10/10/2023

Attention to urinary lithiasis with minimal invasion techniques has other advantages such as the fact that the patient returns home soon after treatment: no injuries, minimal discomfort and, above all, complete resolution of the disease.

Dr. José Gadú Campos Salcedo

That is, if a patient arrives with a stone in a kidney and has a traditional surgical procedure, he is going to have a lot of pain, he will last a long time in bed, he will take time to recover at home and he will waste a lot of time and money in resuming their normal activities. On the other hand, if a patient with this same disease, instead of performing a traditional surgical procedure, the stone is broken with a laser, in 24 hours can be at home and in 72 or 96 hours return to work. All these advantages of the high specialty are combined with the fact that the surgical risk of minimal invasion is much lower than traditional surgery.

 

The most important thing is to take care of the kidneys

If a patient has a stone in the urinary tract and does not treat it in time, because they have never experienced any pain or symptoms, he may have more serious complications such as an infection. If the infection is complicated, the patient may form an abscess secondary to the stone and even lose a kidney. At other times, these stones obstruct the exit of urine that takes place in the kidneys causing that, with the passage of the weeks, a kidney stops working. If a kidney stops working, and is one of the organs that can not be recovered, the disease usually ends in the removal of one of the kidneys. Therefore, the recommendation is that, if the patient is already diagnosed with a stone in his kidneys, go to the specialist and undergo a minimally invasive treatment. This will address the problem in a timely manner and will not expose yourself to greater risks such as losing a kidney.
