Stone Surgery & Endoscopy
This section highlights technological advancement and clinical precision, tailored specifically for patients in the Gulf region.
Urinary Stone Treatment & Advanced Endoscopy
Urinary stones are among the most common and painful urological conditions, especially in the Gulf region and Kuwait due to climatic factors. At Dr. Ahmed Al-Kandari’s clinic, we offer a revolution in urinary tract stone management through advanced endoscopy and laser technology, making traditional open surgery a thing of the past.
Expert Stone Care in Kuwait
We don’t just focus on stone removal; we prioritize protecting kidney function and preventing future recurrence. By utilizing the latest High-Power Holmium Laser technology and flexible endoscopes, we provide a pain-free treatment journey with the fastest possible recovery time.
Types of Stones We Treat
Stones form when minerals and salts crystallize in the urinary system. We specialize in:
Kidney Stones: From small stones to large, complex staghorn calculi.
Ureteric Stones: Often the cause of acute renal colic, requiring urgent intervention.
Bladder Stones: Frequently resulting from prostate enlargement or urinary dysfunction.
Smart Solutions: Endoscopy and Laser Technologies
Prof. Dr. Ahmed Al-Kandari is a pioneer in Minimally Invasive Surgery for stone treatment, utilizing:
1. Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) – Flexible Endoscopy & Laser The world’s latest technique for treating kidney stones without any incisions. A thin, flexible scope is passed through the natural urinary tract to the kidney, where the stone is pulverized into “dust” using laser fibers.
Advantages: No wounds, same-day discharge, and a rapid return to work.
2. Ureteroscopy & Laser Lithotripsy For obstructing ureteric stones, rigid or flexible scopes are used to fragment the stone with laser or retrieve it using specialized “baskets,” providing immediate relief from renal colic.
3. Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) For very large stones unsuitable for standard endoscopy, Dr. Al-Kandari performs a “keyhole” procedure through a tiny incision (less than 1 cm) in the back to access and extract the stone under X-ray and ultrasound guidance.
4. Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL) For eligible cases, we offer non-invasive Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy, which breaks down stones from outside the body without the need for anesthesia or surgery.
Immediate Diagnostic Protocol
Time is critical in stone cases to prevent kidney damage. Our procedures include:
Advanced Ultrasound: For rapid detection of stones or kidney swelling (hydronephrosis).
Low-Dose CT Scan: The “Gold Standard” for accurately determining stone size, location, and hardness.
Urinalysis: To detect associated infections or crystal types.
Preventing Recurrence
Since stone recurrence rates can reach 50%, Dr. Al-Kandari emphasizes a preventive program:
Stone Analysis: To determine chemical composition.
Metabolic Blood & Urine Workup: To identify underlying causes (e.g., high calcium or uric acid).
Customized Nutrition Plan: Tailored dietary and fluid intake advice to minimize future risks.

A Message from Dr. Ahmed Al-Kandari
“Renal colic pain is a cry for help from your kidney. Do not rely solely on painkillers that temporarily mask the pain; a blockage can lead to silent loss of kidney function. Laser treatment is now exceptionally safe and simple.”
