Noninvasive Treatment for Kidney Stones

For patients suffering from kidney stones, Nashoba now offers lithotripsy, a nonsurgical treatment that uses high-energy shock waves to break kidney stones into tiny pieces. These pieces are then easily passed with urine. Nashoba Valley Medical Center Urologist, Stefan Karos, works alongside highly skilled technologists to perform this procedure, which uses the latest technology available.

The benefits to patients who have lithotripsy include:

• Lower complication rates
• Greater success rates in breaking up the kidney stone
• Reduced procedure time
• Shorter recovery period

Depending on the size and location of the kidney stone will determine what type of treatment option is best for a patient.
