Eligibility, technique and price are theirs to state. We translate and coordinate.

1. What Urinary stones is

Miniaturised keyhole and flexible scope techniques clear kidney and ureteric stones with small or no incisions.

Clearance and prevention are two different products: the procedure removes the stones you have; the analysis and metabolic advice address the ones you would otherwise grow.

2. Who it is typically considered for

Technique follows stone size, density and position on CT. Bring the CT, not just the report.

3. How the process usually runs

01Step 1CT review 02Step 2Procedure under anaesthesia 03StentStent, commonly, for a short period 04Step 3Stone analysis and prevention advice

4. What sits inside, and outside, the institution's bill

Typically inside the bill
  • The procedure, theatre or suite time, and the treating team
  • Standard ward stay for the listed nights
  • Routine drugs and consumables during the admission
  • The institution's own scheduled follow-up visit
Usually billed separately
  • Flights, hotel and daily costs
  • Our translation, interpretation and coordination fees, published separately
  • Treatment of complications beyond the routine course
  • A companion's costs
What moves the total
  • Stone burden and number of sessions
  • Laser and consumables
  • Stent removal, sometimes a separate visit

You contract with the institution directly and pay it directly. We add nothing to its bill and never handle payments owed to it.

5. Recovery and follow-up

01Step 1A stent, if placed, is temporary and its removal date matters 02Step 2Fluids and activity resume quickly 03Step 3Stone analysis results shape prevention, and travel home with you

6. Common questions

Will one procedure clear everything?

Depends on burden and position; staged sessions are sometimes the honest plan. Ask which yours is.

What does the stent feel like?

Commonly some urgency and discomfort until removal; ask when and where it comes out before you fly.

Can I fly with a stent?

Generally yes, but the removal appointment must be arranged somewhere; do not leave without that plan.

How do I stop recurrence?

Analysis-guided diet and fluid changes; recurrence without prevention is the norm, not the exception.

7. What to ask the institution

  • One session or staged?
  • When and where does the stent come out?
  • What does stone analysis change for me?

Our part, and its limits

We translate your records in full, correspond with institutions in Chinese, and interpret on site, at the rates published on the fees page. We do not give medical advice, do not recommend one institution over another, and never handle payments owed to any hospital. Whether this procedure is right for you is a question only the treating physicians can answer. Nothing on this page is medical advice, and no outcome is implied or promised.

Before any of this, the records

A rehabilitation plan can only be written by an institution that has read your case accurately. That is where the work starts.
