Kidney Stones & Stone Disease
Kidney and ureteric stones can be incredibly painful and disruptive of daily life appropriately managed, however, treatment can be targeted, safe, and less invasive than most imagine.
Patients looking for a Kidney Stone Specialist in Mumbai trust Dr. Jeena KR’s evidence-based care. She applies modern medicine and technology to treat and prevent stone disease. She provides a comprehensive patient evaluation including imaging (CT, Ultrasound) and metabolic work up, which is vital in identifying stone size, location, and potential medical causes.
She employs techniques such as Lithotripsy (either laser or pneumatic assisted), Flexible and Semi-rigid Endoscopy (URS, fURS / RIRS) and Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Each of these techniques is a minimally invasive procedure where stones are removed or broken, using small instruments. In most cases, these techniques have less recovery time and fewer complications than alternatives.
In addition to removal of stones, this Kidney Stone Specialist in Mumbai provides advice directed at developing appropriate diet, hydration, and lifestyle changes to help reduce future stone formation — because stone disease is not just about treatment but managing long-term damage prevention.
