Laser kidney stone surgery in Delhi is one of the most effective treatments for kidney stones, a common urological condition affecting people in India, especially in hot regions like Delhi NCR, where dehydration increases risk. Most of the patients present with severe flank pain, vomiting, difficulty in urination, or blood in urine when a stone gets stuck in the urinary tract.
Small stones, usually up to 5 mm, have an increased chance of passing out spontaneously with adequate hydration and medicines. When stones are too large to pass naturally, doctors recommend laser kidney stone surgery, a modern, minimally invasive procedure that safely breaks and removes kidney stones with minimal discomfort.
At Uronova – Advanced Laser Kidney Stone Surgery Centre in Delhi, patients are treated using the latest endourological techniques, including RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) performed by Dr. Amit Kumar Kundu, Senior Consultant Urologist and laser stone surgery specialist.
This article explains everything patients need to know about laser kidney stone surgery in Delhi, including procedure, cost, recovery, and when surgery is required.
What Are Kidney Stones?
Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form inside the kidney when certain substances in urine crystallize and stick together. These stones can vary in size from very small particles to large stones that block urine flow.
Common Symptoms of Kidney Stones:

When Is Kidney Stone Surgery Required?
Surgical treatment may be required when the stone is larger than 6–7 mm, pain recurs despite medical treatment, the patient develops fever and infection, kidney function is affected, or the stone fails to pass despite an adequate course of medication.
Laser Kidney Stone Surgery (RIRS) – Procedure:
1. Patient receives general or spinal anesthesia.
2. A flexible ureteroscope is inserted through the urinary passage.
3. The scope reaches the kidney where the stone is located.
4. A holmium or thulium laser breaks the stone into tiny fragments.
5. Fragments are removed or allowed to pass naturally.
6. A temporary DJ stent may be placed if required.
Advantages of Laser Stone Surgery:
