I've been reading over the past few years of advancements in removing kidney
stones. One, a technique developed in Germany, uses ultra?infra?sound. Others
involve advances in basketing and/or laser use, which enable small incisions
to be used. Does anyone know if these techniques are in use in N. America,
and by what physicians/hospitals? I'm facing my fourth operation in seven
years, this time for a stone lodged within the kidney. Rapid response by E-mail
would be greatly appreciated.
