Comprehensive Urology Care for Kidney and Urinary Stones in Kuala Lumpur
Accurate diagnosis, safe treatment, and long-term prevention for kidney-related urological conditions.
Kidney and urinary tract stones are among the most common urological conditions, affecting both men and women. These may form in the kidneys, ureters, or bladder, and can lead to symptoms such as severe pain, urinary blockage, blood in the urine, or recurrent infections. In some cases, untreated stones may also contribute to kidney damage over time.
This section outlines how Dr. Roger diagnoses and treats a range of stone-related conditions — including kidney stones, ureteric stones, bladder stones, and kidney-related urological conditions such as hydronephrosis or urinary tract obstruction. Treatment options are personalised based on each patient’s symptoms, stone type, and overall health — with a focus on minimally invasive procedures, pain relief, and long-term stone prevention.

Dr. Roger provides diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of urinary stone-related and kidney-linked conditions — from acute pain due to ureteric stones to recurrent infections caused by bladder stones or obstruction.

- Ureteric stones

Key Services Offered
We provide kidney-related urological care and urinary stone treatment in Kuala Lumpur, with services including laser stone surgery, ureteroscopy, stenting, PCNL, and preventive follow-up care — all performed at Prince Court Medical Centre.
Ultrasound KUB & Non-contrast CT Scan
Non-invasive imaging to detect kidney and urinary stones, check kidney size, and assess for obstruction. CT scans are the gold standard for stone localization and sizing with high diagnostic accuracy.
Medical Expulsive Therapy
Medications that relax the urinary tract to aid in the natural passage of small kidney or ureteric stones. Often combined with hydration and pain relief in early stone management.
Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL)
A non-surgical treatment using focused sound waves to break kidney or ureteral stones into passable fragments. Ideal for certain stone sizes and commonly performed as a day-care procedure.
Ureterorenoscopy (URS) with Laser Lithotripsy
A minimally invasive procedure using a thin scope and laser to visualize and break stones in the ureter or kidney. Recommended for stones that don’t pass naturally or cause persistent symptoms.
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS)
Advanced endoscopic technique using a flexible scope and laser to treat hard-to-reach or upper pole kidney stones. Performed through the urinary tract with a sheath to aid suction and visibility.
Mini-PCNL & PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy)
Keyhole surgery for removing large or complex kidney stones. Mini-PCNL uses a smaller tract to reduce bleeding and enhance recovery while offering precise stone clearance.
Ureteric Double-J Stenting
Placement of a soft stent inside the ureter to relieve obstruction and ensure urine flow. Commonly used before or after kidney stone surgery to prevent blockage.
Metabolic Evaluation & Stone Prevention
Post-treatment testing of stone composition and metabolic screening to identify causes of recurrence. Helps personalise dietary and medical prevention strategies for kidney stone patients.

Kidney & Stone Diseases FAQ
1. What causes kidney and other urinary stones?
Kidney and urinary tract stones develop when minerals like calcium, oxalate, or uric acid crystallize in the urine. Contributing factors include dehydration, high salt intake, genetics, and medical conditions like gout or hyperparathyroidism.
2. Can small kidney stones pass on their own?
Yes — kidney stones smaller than 5mm often pass spontaneously with adequate hydration and pain control. Stones that are larger, lodged, or symptomatic may require urologic intervention.
3. What is the most accurate test to detect kidney and urinary stones?
A non-contrast CT scan is the most reliable imaging method to detect and assess kidney and ureteric stones. Ultrasound is a useful first-line tool in children and pregnant women, or for follow-up.
4. Is surgery always necessary?
Not necessarily. Conservative management including medication and observation is suitable for small, asymptomatic stones. Surgery is considered if the stone causes pain, obstruction, or infection risk.
5. What is PCNL and when is it used?
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive surgery used to remove large, complex, or multiple kidney stones. Mini-PCNL uses smaller instruments to minimize recovery time and bleeding.
6. Can kidney and urinary stones be prevented?
Yes. Prevention involves staying hydrated, adjusting your diet, and possibly taking medication. Metabolic evaluation and stone analysis help tailor a personalized prevention plan.
7. Do urologists also treat kidney-related conditions?
Yes — urologists treat a range of kidney-related urologic disorders including kidney stones, PUJ obstruction, renal cysts, and hydronephrosis. These differ from chronic kidney disease, which is typically managed by nephrologists.
