Kidney Stone Procedures in Mumbai
Tailored to stone size, location, and patient profile — from day-care laser surgery to complex staghorn calculi. Performed by Dr. Anand Utture, leading urologist in Mumbai.
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery
Flexible ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy — enters through the natural urinary tract with zero incisions. Ideal for stones up to 2 cm.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
A 5–10 mm back incision provides direct access to large or complex stones. Mini-PCNL reduces bleeding and recovery time vs standard PCNL.
Holmium Laser Lithotripsy
The gold standard for stone fragmentation. Holmium laser pulverises stones into fine dust, ensuring complete clearance with minimal trauma.
Shock Wave Lithotripsy
Non-invasive external shock waves break smaller stones into passable fragments — no anaesthesia required. Best for uncomplicated stones under 1.5 cm.

Frequently Asked Questions — Kidney Stone Treatment in Mumbai
What is the difference between RIRS and PCNL for kidney stone treatment in Mumbai?
RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is incision-free and uses a flexible scope through the natural urinary tract — suited for stones up to 2 cm with a 1-day stay. Mini PCNL uses a small 5–10 mm back incision for larger stones above 2 cm or complex staghorn calculi, with a 2–3 day stay. Dr. Anand Utture recommends the best procedure based on your stone profile.
Can kidney stones pass on their own without surgery?
Stones smaller than 4–5 mm have a good chance of passing spontaneously with high fluid intake and pain management. Stones larger than 6 mm or those causing obstruction, infection, or intractable pain require procedural intervention such as RIRS or PCNL.
How can I prevent kidney stones from recurring?
A 24-hour urine metabolic workup, adequate hydration (2+ L urine/day), stone composition analysis, targeted medications like potassium citrate or allopurinol, and annual imaging form the backbone of recurrence prevention.
Is RIRS kidney stone surgery painful?
RIRS is performed under general or spinal anaesthesia, so there is no pain during the procedure. Post-operatively, mild discomfort for 1–2 days is common and managed with standard analgesics. Most patients in Mumbai return to normal activity within 3–5 days.
