Treatment methods
The Urolithiasis Treatment Center provides comprehensive emergency and planned treatment:
- urolithiasis;
- renal colic;
- prostate adenomas;
- kidney cysts;
- tumors of the urinary tract;
- urinary tract urodynamic disorders.
Specialists also perform safe and effective removal of kidney stones, including for pregnant women.
The difference between the Center is its 24/7 operation and the possibility of emergency hospitalization. EMC reanimobiles can deliver patients with acute pain and colic to the hospital from anywhere in Moscow and the Moscow region. EMC diagnostic departments work around the clock, which makes it possible to instantly determine the patient's condition and provide him with the necessary assistance promptly and professionally. The Center's specialists not only relieve pain, but also, if indicated, restore the outflow of urine from the kidney, remove ureteral stones, completely eliminating the cause of renal colic. Operations are performed at any time of the day.
Diagnostics
- Ultrasound of the kidneys, upper and lower urinary tract;
- multispiral computed tomography (MSCT) or overview and excretory urography;
- blood and urine tests;
- analysis of the mineral composition of the removed or self-detached stone;
- uroflowmetry — determines the degree of difficulty urinating. During this study, a special device determines the time and speed of urine flow during urination, which makes it possible to assess violations.
Treatment methods
- Drug treatment is usually used in the early stages of the disease, i.e. with minor disorders.
- Non-surgical treatment:
Medicinal litholysis is the non—surgical dissolution of certain types of stones. This technique should be carried out strictly under the supervision of a urologist, since improper treatment can not only fail to dissolve the stones, but also provoke their further growth. - Surgical treatment:
- Contact lithotripsy (CT)— endoscopic destruction and removal of stones that have moved from the kidney to the ureter, as well as kidney and bladder stones through the urethra or urethra without incisions and punctures. The operation is performed using ultra-thin, safe, flexible endoscopes (ureteroscopes) and laser systems for effective contact crushing of stones. Bladder stones are destroyed through a special urethrocystoscope using ultrasound, mechanical and laser energy.
- Percutaneous or percutaneous nephrolithotomy/lithotripsy/litolapaxy — removal of large and hard-to—reach kidney stones, up to giant stones over 5 centimeters in diameter, through mini-accesses - several small punctures in the lumbar region.
- Laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgeries for urolithiasis, kidney cysts, nephroptosis (kidney prolapse). This is a minimally traumatic surgery — access to the problem area is carried out through 3 small (5-10 mm) incisions in the lower abdomen. The rehabilitation time for such operations is much shorter compared to oral interventions.
- Transurethral resection is a method of removing prostate adenoma, performed by minimally invasive methods, as well as using laser surgery techniques.

Thanks to A. V. Kovalenko
Good afternoon! Alexey Vasilyevich Kovalenko received a patient in the
acute phase of inflammation after examination in another clinic ("clinic" is the key here) with a diagnosis of lifelong catheterization from the head of the urology department. In JSC " EMC " doctor Alexey
Vasilyevich removed the inflammation, established a diagnosis, which was confirmed a month later by additional examinations and successfully performed the operation.The patient is sent home without a catheter to live, work, raise children and be happy.There are no words in the world to express our gratitude to Alexey Vasilyevich!We believe that the clinic of JSC "EMC "(Shchepkina 35) should be infinitely proud of such a specialist and professional in their field!And we wish our doctor a long long life, successful operations and thank you for meeting a real doctor!
