PCNL using pneumatic ‘jackhammer’ lithotripsy

17/03/2026

PCNL is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove large, (>2cm) complex, stubborn kidney stones. A surgeons makes a small back incision, creates a tract to the kidney, and uses a nephroscope to break up and remove stones. PNEUMATIC lithotripsy, often described as a “JACKHAMMER” for stones, is a widely used, safe, and cost-effective endourological technique for breaking apart kidney, bladder, or ureteral stones.

s/p laparoscopic nephrectomy with isthmusectomy for a non functioning horseshoe kidney

16/03/2026

Laparoscopic nephrectomy with isthmusectomy for a horseshoe kidney is a safe, minimally invasive procedure to remove one half of a fused kidney. The technique involves careful ligation of aberrant vessels, dividing the connecting isthmus (often using staplers), and removing the affected moiety, typically treating benign or malignant conditions.

s/p cystoscopy transurethral resection of bladder tumor

following a transurethral resection of a bladder tumor (TURBT), the tumor bed—the area where the tumor was removed—is intentionally cauterized or "toasted" (fulgurated) with electric current or laser to stop bleeding and destroy any remaining cancer cells
