Holmium laser lithotripsy procedure is a major surgery that is performed under sedation and general anesthesia and lasts 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Below we explain, in a very simplified way, the surgical process of the Endoureteral Lithotripsy with Holmium laser:

1. Administration of general anesthesia.
2. Dilate the urethra to allow access to the ureteroscope.
3. Introduce the holmium laser fiber through the urethra and to the area where the stone is located, making it easier for the surgeon to destroy the stone.
4. Fill the bladder with a saline solution to improve its visibility and thus be able to access the ureter more easily.
5. Fragment the stone into small pieces, allowing easy removal.
6. Placement of a bladder catheter to facilitate the elimination of the remains of the stone that may have remained.
7. Extract surgical instruments.
8. Placement of a sterile bandage.

The main advantage of the Endoureteral Lithotripsy with Holmium laser is pain relief and as a result, an improvement in your quality of life. However, doing a Endoureteral Lithotripsy with Holmium laser has many more benefits for joint health, so surgery is, in most cases, the best choice:

• Greater efficiency in the treatment of any type of stone. The use of the holmium laser is extremely efficient for the fragmentation of any type of stone, regardless of their composition.
• Chances of bleeding during the procedure are decreased. This being a safer procedure for the patient and reducing the chances of complications.
• The movement of the stone within the organ during the intervention is reduced.
• Greater ease of access to the stone thanks to the use of fibers with a small diameter and greater flexibility.
• Increased level of success in a single treatment, with probabilities of 90-95%.
