Advanced Treatment for Kidney Stones: MOSES Technology and PCNL
Comprehensive Care for Kidney Stones
The Rutgers Urology Clinic specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of kidney stones, offering the latest in minimally invasive techniques. For complex kidney stone cases, we utilize MOSES technology and Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) to provide effective treatment options.
Understanding Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys. Symptoms may include severe pain, nausea, vomiting, and blood in the urine. Factors contributing to kidney stones can include dehydration, diet, and genetic predisposition.
MOSES Technology: A Leap Forward in Stone Treatment
The MOSES technology represents a significant advancement in laser lithotripsy, offering a more efficient and effective method for breaking up kidney stones. This pulsed laser modality allows for precise targeting of stones, reducing treatment time and improving patient outcomes.
Benefits of MOSES Technology:
Enhanced precision and efficiency in stone fragmentation.
Reduced operation time.
Less post-operative discomfort and quicker recovery.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL): For Large or Complex Stones
PCNL is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed for patients with large or complex kidney stones that cannot be treated with less invasive methods. This procedure involves making a small incision in the patient’s back to directly access and remove kidney stones.
Advantages of PCNL
Highly effective for large and complex stones.
Shorter hospital stays and recovery time compared to open surgery.
Minimizes the need for additional treatments.
Choosing the Right Treatment
Determining the most appropriate treatment depends on the size, type, and location of the kidney stone, as well as the patient’s overall health. Dr. Alwaal and his team provide personalized care, ensuring that patients receive the most effective treatment plan.
