Laser technology has transformed the way kidney stones are treated, replacing many traditional open surgical approaches with precise, minimally invasive procedures that offer faster recovery and fewer complications. If you are looking for advanced laser kidney stone surgery in Marathahalli, Dr. Anand Arumugam performs a range of laser-based stone procedures at Manipal Hospital, Varthur Road, conveniently accessible from Marathahalli via the Outer Ring Road.
Laser lithotripsy uses a thin fiber, guided through a small scope, to deliver focused laser energy directly onto the surface of a kidney stone. This energy fragments the stone into much smaller pieces — or, in many cases, fine dust — that can be removed directly during the procedure or pass naturally through the urinary tract afterward. Unlike shock wave therapy, which works from outside the body, laser treatment allows the surgeon to visualize the stone directly through an endoscope and apply energy with a high degree of precision, making it particularly effective for stones that are harder, larger, or located in positions that are difficult to treat with non-invasive methods. With over 23 years of experience in urology, Dr. Anand Arumugam has extensive hands-on expertise in laser stone procedures, using this technology to treat patients from Marathahalli and across Bengaluru.
Ureteroscopy with Laser Lithotripsy: For stones lodged within the ureter, a thin scope is passed through the natural urinary passage, and laser energy is used to fragment the stone directly, with fragments removed or left to pass naturally. This approach requires no external incision at all. Learn more on our Ureteroscopy page.
Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS): For stones located higher up within the kidney itself, a flexible scope combined with laser fragmentation allows Dr. Anand Arumugam to access and treat stones that would otherwise require more invasive surgery. Full details are available on our Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery page.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy with Laser Assistance: For larger, more complex stones, laser fragmentation can also be combined with a small puncture access technique to efficiently clear stones that would be difficult to manage with endoscopic methods alone. Read more on our Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy page.

Compared to older surgical techniques, laser-based stone surgery typically results in less bleeding, reduced risk of injury to surrounding tissue, shorter hospital stays, and a faster return to normal activity. Because the laser energy can be precisely controlled, it is also effective against harder stone compositions, such as calcium oxalate monohydrate stones, that may be more resistant to shock wave therapy alone. For many patients, this means a single, well-planned laser procedure can achieve what might otherwise require multiple treatment sessions.
Laser stone surgery is generally suitable for a wide range of stone sizes and locations, though the exact approach depends on factors such as stone size, position within the urinary tract, stone hardness, and the patient’s overall anatomy and health. Dr. Anand Arumugam evaluates each case individually using detailed imaging before recommending whether laser surgery, shock wave therapy, or a combined approach is the most appropriate path forward — ensuring patients from Marathahalli receive treatment matched precisely to their condition rather than a generic protocol.
