About Kidney stone lithotripsy (PCNL/ESWL)

Kidney stones can cause severe pain, urinary obstruction, and recurring infections if not treated effectively. Modern treatment options include Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL). PCNL is a minimally invasive surgical technique used for large or complex stones, while ESWL uses targeted shock waves to break stones into smaller fragments that can be naturally passed through the urinary tract. In Turkey, both PCNL and ESWL are widely performed in advanced urology centres. Patients benefit from modern imaging systems, laser technology, and minimally invasive equipment, which ensure high success rates with minimal complications. Recovery times are generally short, and patients can return to their daily lives within a few days. HealMinded provides access to affordable, high-quality kidney stone treatments in Turkey. With experienced specialists, modern hospital facilities, and tailored care packages, patients from around the world choose Turkey for effective and safe lithotripsy procedures.
