Frequently Asked Questions
What types of kidney stone treatments does Dr. Lingeman offer?
Dr. Lingeman offers a range of minimally invasive options for kidney stone treatment, including shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy. The right approach depends on the size, location, and composition of the stone. He will review imaging and your history to recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
Can Dr. Lingeman help if I have recurrent kidney stones?
Yes. Recurrent stone formers benefit from a thorough metabolic evaluation to identify underlying causes such as dietary factors, hormonal imbalances, or genetic conditions. Dr. Lingeman can coordinate testing and work with you on a prevention strategy to reduce the likelihood of future stones.
What is percutaneous nephrolithotomy and when is it needed?
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, or PCNL, is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove large or complex kidney stones that cannot be treated effectively with other methods. A small incision is made in the back to access the kidney directly. It is typically recommended for stones larger than 2 centimeters or those that have not responded to less invasive treatments.
