World-class surgeons at SGH Dammam

deliver relief from years of challenging

kidney stone pain

June 19, 2024

19 June 2024- Expert surgeons at Saudi German Hospital Dammam skillfully

performed a delicate surgery, ending years of pain caused by a large stone in a
difficult location within a patient’s right kidney.

First, the surgeons conducted a ureteropyelography (study of the ureter and kidney
using a radiopaque substance) to meticulously visualise the blockage.

Afterward, through a remarkably tiny incision (less than 1 cm), the surgeons
performed a miniaturised nephoscopy to access the stone. Their expertise allowed

them to break down the stone with laser precision. Following this, they placed a

ureteral stent to facilitate drainage.
