Soroka laserurologysurgery
1. Advanced Laser Equipment
for Urology Surgery
The buildup of multiple stones in the urinary tract can result in obstruction of the ducts and the kidneys,
causing the loss of a kidney and renal failure. The main symptoms of kidney stones are unbearable pain
in the abdominal region, bleeding and recurrent urinary tract infections.
Kidney stones in the urinary tract may be treated by different methods:
1) Ultrasound equipment used externally that emits sound waves to break up the stones (Extracorporeal
Shock Wave Lithotripsy). This is a non-invasive procedure with a good success rate.
2) In cases where the stones in the urinary tract do not respond to external pulverization, surgical
intervention and internal shattering of the stones is required. This is performed with laser equipment
in an endoscopic procedure (ureteroscopy).
The procedure is carried out with laser equipment that is inserted via a tube into the bladder. It identifies
the ureter where the stones are located and shatters the stones in a very pinpointed manner, offering
maximum surgical precision and causing
minimal complications to the patient. Some
250 operations using the endoscopic method
are carried out at Soroka Medical Center
annually in its operating rooms, under general
anesthesia.
The equipment currently in use was purchased
by Soroka more than 12 years ago and its
technology is rather antiquated. Moreover,
replacement parts are no longer available.
Procuring new advanced equipment for
shattering urinary tract stones is therefore both
imperative and urgent.
Without new equipment at Soroka, patients will be forced to undergo the procedure far from their homes,
traveling great distances to other hospitals.
