Telescopic procedures, also known as minimally invasive or endoscopic procedures, are commonly used for the removal of kidney or gallbladder stones. Two primary techniques are employed for these purposes: ureteroscopy for kidney stones and laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallbladder stones. Specialized medical services such as laparoscopic surgery in Baraut cater to the specific needs of patients seeking advanced and minimally invasive solutions for various surgical procedures.

Ureteroscopy for Kidney Stones:

• Procedure: Ureteroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove kidney stones located in the ureter or kidney. A thin, flexible tube with a camera on the end, called a ureteroscope, is inserted through the urinary tract. The surgeon can then visualize the stones and use laser or other tools to break them into smaller pieces. These smaller fragments can then be naturally passed out through the urine.
• Indications: Ureteroscopy is typically used for smaller kidney stones that are not suitable for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or when ESWL has not been successful.
• Recovery: Recovery time is generally shorter compared to traditional open surgery, and patients can often go home on the same day or after a short hospital stay.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Gallbladder Stones:

• Procedure: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the minimally invasive surgical removal of the gallbladder, which is commonly done when gallstones cause symptoms or complications. Several small incisions are made in the abdomen, through which a laparoscope and specialized instruments are inserted. The surgeon then removes the gallbladder and any gallstones within it.
• Indications: This procedure is indicated for patients with symptomatic gallbladder stones, such as gallbladder attacks, inflammation (cholecystitis), or complications like gallstone pancreatitis.
• Recovery: Recovery after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is usually faster and less painful than open surgery, with shorter hospital stays and smaller scars.
