Urinary Stone Disease
Hardened mineral deposits that form in the kidney
may become lodged in the kidneys or in the tube
that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder
(ureter), causing severe pain and blocking the
flow of urine. Penn urologists treat kidney
stones,
using surgery or lithotripsy. An alternative
to surgery, lithotripsy uses ultrasonic waves
to pulverize the stones, which are then more
easily passed out of the body in the urine.
