Does endoscopic laser stone surgery need incisions?
In many cases the stone is reached through the urethra with a telescope without any surgical incision, while large or complex stones sometimes need a small opening in the flank. The doctor chooses the most suitable approach after examination and imaging.
Do I need tests before the visit?
Not necessarily. Bring any recent tests or scans you have; otherwise the doctor decides after the examination which urine tests, ultrasound, imaging or other tests are needed.

Yes. Your details are used only to contact you, arrange your appointment and follow up your case, and are not shared with anyone else. See the Privacy Policy page for details.
What should I do in an emergency?
WhatsApp and the contact form are not for emergencies. If you cannot pass urine, have sudden severe testicular pain, kidney colic with a fever, or heavy bleeding, call an ambulance (123 in Egypt) or go straight to the nearest emergency department.
Useful Health Tips
Drink enough water
Drinking fluids regularly lowers the concentration of salts in the urine and reduces stones and urinary infections. Aim for pale urine.
Never ignore blood in the urine
Blood in the urine, even once and without pain, needs a doctor’s visit to find the cause and decide which tests are needed.
Do not hold urine for long periods
Constantly delaying urination can increase infections and strain the bladder. Pass urine when you need to.
No antibiotics without advice
Random antibiotic use can mask the problem and produce resistant bacteria. Have a urine test and culture and follow what your doctor prescribes.
Kidney pain with fever is an emergency
If kidney colic comes with a fever or the urine stops, go to the nearest emergency department straight away.
Check children early
An undescended testicle or repeated urinary infections in a child need to be seen by a paediatric urologist without delay.
