20 mm Kidney Stone Advanced Treatment

Kidney stones are hard, crystal-like structures found in kidneys, that are caused due to dehydration, obesity, weight loss surgery, or other reasons. These stones, in most cases, remain undiagnosed for a long time and do not cause discomfort. However, kidney stones bigger than 5 mm in size accompany symptoms that can hamper your day-to-day activities. 20 mm kidney stones are large-sized stones that are likely to cause symptoms. But, it is essential to get them treated in time as they are unlikely to pass on their own and may lead to complications in the future. If you're seeking respite from 20 mm kidney stones, choose Pristyn Care for your treatment. We have a skilled team of urologists who have years of experience in treating kidney stones. They use advanced treatment methods and put the patient's comfort at the utmost priority.

20 mm Kidney Stone Diagnosis & Treatment

20 mm Kidney Stone Diagnosis

If you have symptoms of a kidney stone, your urologist may perform the following diagnostic tests to confirm the presence of kidney stones and draft a treatment plan:

  • Blood and urine tests: Blood tests help assess the calcium and uric acid levels in the blood, which helps evaluate the health of the kidneys. A 24-hour urine collection test examines the components of the urine for stone-forming minerals and stone-preventing substances.
  • Imaging tests: Imaging tests like CT scans, abdominal X-rays, and ultrasounds help reveal the size and location of kidney stones.
  • Stone analysis: Often, large kidney stones are associated with small kidney stones. If you collect your urine and pass it through a strainer, you can obtain small renal stones and send them to the lab for analysis.

20 mm Kidney Stone Surgery

For a kidney stone, you may need one of the following treatments:

  • ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy) is a common noninvasive treatment in which shock waves like X-rays or ultrasounds are used to break down stones in the urinary system, pancreas, or bile ducts.
  • RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is an endoscopic surgery in which the surgeon uses a fiberoptic endoscope and a ureteroscope to locate and remove renal stones from kidneys or ureters.
  • Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is performed to remove a kidney or upper ureter stones that are too large to be dissolved through ESWL or URSL.
  • In Ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL), the surgeon inserts a ureteroscope through the urethra to locate the stones, and then the stones are destroyed using shock waves. A urethral stent may be placed at the end of the surgery to keep the ureter open after the procedure.

When does a doctor recommend surgical removal of the kidney stone?

Any stone that’s larger than 5 mm requires medical intervention. At first, the doctors try extracting the stone with the help of medicines. However, in some cases, the stones are too large and do not respond to medicines. In these cases, the doctors might use surgical methods of removal. A 20 mm stone is quite large and always requires surgery. Listed below are the most commonly performed surgeries for kidney stone removal: 

  • Lithotripsy or ESWL
  • Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy or PCNL
  • Retrograde intrarenal surgery or RIRS
  • Ureteroscopy and laser stone fragmentation or URSL
