Expert surgeons at Saudi German Hospital Dammam skilfully

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.
