Indication

Laser technology has been used for years to treat kidney stones, shattering the troublemakers into small pieces that can then be removed or excreted. The thulium fiber laser is based on a completely new technology. This results in the stones being treated more precisely, finely and efficiently.

Procedure

Since the thulium fiber laser disintegrates stones much more efficiently and smaller than previous stone lasers, the operation time is significantly reduced. In addition, greater efficiency means that larger stones can be treated minimally invasively via ureteroscopy. Previously, these stones required surgery with access directly through the skin into the kidney, which is associated with a higher risk of complications. The use of the thulium fiber laser also makes it possible to use thinner and more flexible laser fibers. This increases the mobility of the instruments in the kidney and increases continuous irrigation during surgery. As a result, the view of the target site is better, which additionally contributes to the safety and precision of the operation

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores et ea rebum.

Indication

Kidney cancer is a disease in which the cells in the kidney change so that they grow unchecked. Today, most kidney tumors are discovered incidentally during imaging. Fortunately, the tumors are therefore often in an early stage, so that a cure is possible in the vast majority of cases with the correct therapy.

Mode of action

If kidney cancer is suspected, further imaging using computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is required for more precise assessment. These procedures can be used to identify the tumor sites as well as the extension and possibly metastases in other organs. Imaging can usually reliably distinguish between benign changes in the kidney and kidney cancer. If the suspicion of kidney cancer is confirmed, surgery is required. In selected cases of small tumors, monitoring may also be performed in patients* with serious secondary diseases.

Expected effect

At alta uro, minimally invasive therapy of kidney tumors is one of our main focuses. In the vast majority of cases, surgery is performed using the Da Vinci surgical robot. This technique allows us to operate very precisely and to remove only the tumor-bearing part of the kidney, while sparing the healthy part of the kidney. This has the following advantages for our patients:

Less pain after surgery

Rapid recovery

Short hospital stay

Long-term protection of kidney function

No cosmetically disturbing large scars

If the tumor is very large or if the tumor is very close to critical structures, it may be necessary to remove the entire kidney.
