Guide. In percutaneous nephrolithotomy or nephrolithotripsy, the surgeon makes a small incision in your back to remove kidney stones. He or she then puts a hollow tube into your kidney and a probe through the tube. In nephrolithotomy, the surgeon removes the stone through the tube. In nephrolithotripsy, he or she breaks the stone up and then removes the fragments of the stone through the tube.
Services and treatments offered: 1  Ureteroscopy: Removal of kidney stones through the urinary tract with the aid of a small camera. A ureteroscopy is a procedure sometimes recommended for the treatment of kidney stones. 2  Lithotripsy: The break down of kidney stones using shock (sound) waves. This is also called ESWL (extra-corporal shock wave lithotripsy). Lithotripsy employs high-energy shock waves to break the stones into tiny pieces, allowing them to pass through the urinary tract and out of the body.
