Lithotripsy
Non-invasive procedure using shock waves to break down kidney stones, allowing them to pass through the urinary tract. Often done on an outpatient basis.
Dialysis

Nephrectomy
Surgical removal of one or both kidneys, often due to disease, injury, or cancer. Can also be part of living donor kidney transplant.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)

Laparoscopic Cyst Ablation
Minimally invasive surgery to remove cysts. Small incisions are made, a laparoscope is inserted to visualize and remove the cyst. Outpatient procedure with benefits like shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery compared to open surgery.
