Kidney stone disease. (Redirected from Kidney stone) Kidney stone disease, also known as urolithiasis, is when a solid piece of material (kidney stone) occurs in the urinary tract. Kidney stones typically form in the kidney and leave the body in the urine stream. A small stone may pass without causing symptoms.
Services and treatments offered: 1  Ureteroscopy: Removal of kidney stones through the urinary tract with the aid of a small camera. A ureteroscopy is a procedure sometimes recommended for the treatment of kidney stones. 2  Lithotripsy: The break down of kidney stones using shock (sound) waves. This is also called ESWL (extra-corporal shock wave lithotripsy). Lithotripsy employs high-energy shock waves to break the stones into tiny pieces, allowing them to pass through the urinary tract and out of the body.
