VIDEO ENDOUROLOGICAL THEATRE EQUIPMENTS
- C- arm fluroscopy with IITV with memory
- Radiolucent top hydraulic OT table
- Storz Nephroscope for PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotripsy) for kidney stones
- Schoelly Ureteroscope for URS (Ureterorenoscopy) for ureteral stones
- Cystolithotrity for bladder stones

Advantages of PCNL & URS
- Keyhole incision for PCNL
- No incision for retrograde URS
- Safe with short hospital stay
- PCNL ideal for large stone burden associated with PUJ obstruction
- URS ideal for impacted ureteral stones
- PCNL & URS in combination with ESWL gives almost 100% stone removal without surgery
- Early return to work
ESWL (Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy)
- Powerful shockwaves produced by electrohydraulic principle
- Computerised electronics resulting in precise focussing of shockwaves on kidney & ureteral stones with resultant quick & painless fragmentation
- Fragments stone into fine particles which easily pass out in urine
Advantages
- No incision & scars
- Best for kidney stones < 2
cms & nonimpacted < 1 cm upper ureteral stones
- Treatment of choice for surgically unfit patients, diabetics, IHD, hypertension, COPD
- No damage to kidney & surrounding organs
- No blood transfusion
- No hospital stay
- Safe for all ages
