The causes of kidney and urinary tract stone formation are complex. Study data indicate that about 10-15% of the country's population suffers from kidney stone disease. The Urology Department at VITA Hospital has a team of experienced specialists and modern equipment, making it possible to provide highly effective and lasting treatment for kidney and urinary tract stones.

Extracorporeal Lithotripsy (ESWL):
Extracorporeal lithotripsy is a modern method that uses a lithotripter - a machine for breaking up stones in the kidneys and urinary tract. The success rate of ESWL places the procedure among the most effective treatments for kidney stone disease - over 80% of cases respond positively to treatment.

Laser stone fragmentation:
Despite the proven effectiveness of extracorporeal lithotripsy for breaking up kidney and urinary tract stones, in some cases the use of modern endoscopic laser methods is required. VITA Hospital is the first to have the latest generation of stone-fragmentation laser - Sphinx Jr. from the German company LISA Laser.
