Comprehensive Kidney Stone Treatments
Kidney stones are incredibly common and intensely painful. We specialize in fast, non-invasive, and minimally invasive procedures to break down and remove stones without the need for large surgical incisions.
Advanced Stone Removal Options
- ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy): A completely non-invasive procedure that uses sound waves to break kidney stones into tiny pieces that pass naturally.
- URSL (Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy): Utilizing a tiny scope and laser to pinpoint and destroy stones trapped in the ureter without any external cuts.
- PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy): A highly effective keyhole surgery used to remove exceptionally large or stubborn kidney stones directly from the kidney.
Prostate Enlargement (BPH) and Prostate Care
As men age, prostate enlargement (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) becomes a common issue, leading to frequent urination, difficulty emptying the bladder, and interrupted sleep. Dr. Arulkumaran is a leading Prostate Specialist in Karaikal, offering state-of-the-art treatments.
- TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate): The gold-standard, minimally invasive surgical treatment to remove excess prostate tissue blocking the urethra.
- Laser Prostate Surgery: Advanced laser vaporization techniques that ensure less bleeding and a much faster recovery time for elderly patients.
