Laser lithotripsy is a modern method for treating urolithiasis, in which the stone is destroyed by a holmium laser under direct visual control. Contact lithotripsy allows the doctor to precisely target the stone in the kidney, ureter or bladder while preserving surrounding tissues. This approach ensures a high level of accuracy and a stable clinical outcome.
Laser Lithotripsy
Laser stone fragmentation allows you to quickly eliminate a stone in the urinary system and restore normal urination. The method is suitable for most patients and provides the expected result on the same day as the procedure.

Cost of Laser Stone Crushing
The cost of laser lithotripsy is determined individually and depends on the stone’s size, density and location. The complexity category is assessed after diagnostics, and the patient receives a transparent price in advance with no hidden charges. The price includes a urology consultation, preparation and the procedure itself.

Advantages of Laser Lithotripsy
Effective for Stones of Any Density
The laser breaks even hard and complex stones, including oxalates. The method is effective in cases where ultrasound may not succeed.
Complete Removal in a Single Visit
The stone is destroyed to a “dust-like” state. Residual fragments are minimal, so repeat sessions are rarely required.
Precise and Gentle Solution
The stone is fragmented under visual control via a ureteroscope. The effect is directed strictly at the stone, reducing the risk of mucosal injury.
No Hospitalization Needed
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. The patient goes home the same day or the next and quickly returns to normal activity.

Everything About Laser Stone Destruction
The holmium laser has become one of the most precise tools in modern endoscopic urology. Its energy breaks the stone layer by layer, turning it into tiny particles without damaging surrounding tissues. The method uses focused contact-zone action and is suitable for cases of any complexity. Below we have summarised the key stages, indications and practical information to help you clearly understand how the treatment works.

Comparison of Contact Lithotripsy with Other Methods
Modern urology uses several methods of stone removal. Laser lithotripsy is applied when the stone is too dense, large or inconveniently located for non-contact fragmentation. The contact approach gives the doctor complete control and enables effective removal of complex stones.
If the stone is small and suitable for through-tissue fragmentation, extracorporeal ultrasound lithotripsy is used. This option is even more gentle and does not require endoscopic access. More details can be found on the extracorporeal lithotripsy page.
Both methods are available at New Life Clinic. The choice of approach is made after diagnostics and always prioritises the safest and most effective solution.
