Kidney Stone Treatments Available in Kolkata

A kidney stone doctor in Kolkata selects treatment based on stone size, location, composition, and patient health. The main treatment options are:

Medical expulsion therapy — For stones under 5–6 mm. Alpha-blockers and pain relief help small stones pass naturally, with hydration guidance and dietary advice to prevent recurrence.

ESWL (extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy) — ESWL is effective for stones with a diameter of 6–8 mm. High-frequency shock waves break the stone into fragments that are passed naturally in urine. More than 90% of patients experience relief. Non-invasive, no incision required.

Ureteroscopy (URS / URSL) — Ureteroscopic lithotripsy is effective for stones up to 10 mm. A ureteroscope is passed through the urethra and bladder; the stone is fragmented with laser energy and removed. Recovery typically takes about one week. Doctar

PCNL (percutaneous nephrolithotomy) — Used for larger or more complex stones. A small incision is made in the back to access and remove the stone directly from the kidney. Most suitable for stones over 2 cm.

FAQ

Who is the best kidney stone doctor in Kolkata?

How much does kidney stone treatment cost in Kolkata?

Kidney stone treatment costs in Kolkata depend on the procedure selected. Consultation fees range from ₹800 to ₹2,000 per visit. Procedure costs typically range from ₹40,000–₹55,000 for ESWL, ₹70,000–₹85,000 for PCNL, and ₹90,000–₹1,05,000 for RIRS, varying by hospital, anaesthesia, and stone complexity. These costs are separate from the consultation fee and should be confirmed directly with the hospital.

What is the best treatment for kidney stones in Kolkata?

The best kidney stone treatment in Kolkata depends on stone size and location. Stones under 5 mm often pass with medication. Stones of 6–8 mm are typically treated with ESWL (shockwave lithotripsy) — a non-invasive procedure with over 90% pain relief success. Stones of 7–10 mm in the ureter are treated with ureteroscopy (URSL). Stones over 2 cm typically require PCNL. Your urologist selects the approach based on CT KUB imaging findings.

Can kidney stones be treated without surgery in Kolkata?

Yes. Kidney stones smaller than 5–6 mm often pass naturally with adequate fluid intake, alpha-blocker medication for pain relief and to relax the ureter, and dietary modification. ESWL (shockwave lithotripsy) is another non-surgical option for appropriately sized stones — it uses sound waves from outside the body to break the stone without any incision. All three Doctar-listed urologists in Kolkata offer non-surgical management before recommending invasive procedures.

What tests does a kidney stone doctor in Kolkata order?

A kidney stone doctor in Kolkata typically orders an ultrasound KUB (kidneys, ureters, bladder) as the first imaging test for suspected stones, followed by a CT KUB (non-contrast CT scan) for accurate stone size, location, and density assessment. Urine routine/culture is ordered to check for infection. Blood tests (creatinine, calcium, uric acid) help identify metabolic causes of recurrent stone formation.

How do I know if I need to see a kidney stone doctor urgently in Kolkata?

See a kidney stone doctor in Kolkata urgently — or go to an emergency department — if you experience severe, sudden flank or back pain (renal colic) that does not subside with rest, fever with chills alongside urinary pain (suggesting infection with obstruction), blood in urine with acute pain, or complete inability to urinate. These are signs of a complicated kidney stone requiring immediate evaluation and possible emergency drainage.

Yes. All three kidney stone specialists on Doctar — Dr. Kaushik Sinha, Dr. Mukesh Kumar Vijay, and Dr. Sudarshan Kanti Baishya — offer online video consultations through the Doctar platform.
