Muong Khuong District General Hospital successfully implemented retrograde endoscopic laser lithotripsy for ureteral stones

Master - Resident Doctor Trinh Nam Son, Department of Urology, Hanoi Medical University Hospital, currently working on rotation, directly instructed and transferred the technique of retrograde endoscopic laser lithotripsy to doctors of the Department of General Surgery, Muong Khuong District General Hospital, successfully performing surgery for 3 patients.

Retrograde intrarenal laser lithotripsy is a modern, minimally invasive technique.

Retrograde laser lithotripsy is a procedure in which a scope is inserted from the urethra, through the bladder, up the ureter to directly access the stone. The doctor then uses laser energy to break up the stone, wash it, and remove all the stone fragments.

This is a modern, minimally invasive technique in the treatment of urinary tract stones. This technique helps to preserve maximum kidney function and helps patients recover quickly. Patients can be discharged from the hospital 2-3 days after surgery.

The successful implementation of this technique at Muong Khuong District General Hospital is a step forward in the implementation of advanced techniques, contributing to improving the quality of medical examination and treatment at the hospital, helping people enjoy high-quality medical services right in their locality, reducing the rate of referrals.
