142 verified reviewsKidney stones are hard mineral deposits that can cause sudden, severe pain in your back or side, often moving to the groin. Small stones frequently pass with pain relief and fluids - larger or stuck stones can be treated with shockwave therapy, laser surgery or keyhole removal, all available at Urocare London.
Classically in the back or side below the ribs, coming in waves and often moving down to the lower abdomen and groin.
Stones can scratch the urinary tract as they move, turning urine pink, red or brown.
Feeling sick, needing to go urgently or often, pain when passing urine, or cloudy urine if infection develops.
Many small stones pass on their own with strong pain relief and plenty of fluids - monitored so nothing is left to chance.
Focused sound waves break the stone into fragments small enough to pass - no incisions, usually as a day case.
A fine telescope reaches the stone and a holmium laser breaks it up - Mr Ghei holds a fellowship in urological stone disease.
For large or complex kidney stones - percutaneous nephrolithotomy removes the stone through a small incision in the back.
Kidney stone pain deserves fast answers - most patients are seen within a few days, sooner where possible.
Imaging confirms the size and position of the stone, and Mr Ghei explains exactly what it means and what your options are.
From watchful waiting to laser surgery - treated by a consultant with fellowship training in stone disease.
Mr Ghei is a consultant urological surgeon with a specialist focus on prostate diagnosis and treatment. He holds a Research MD from University College London and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons.
In his NHS role he is Cancer Lead and Academic Lead at Whittington Hospital London - one of a small number of consultant urologists in the UK to hold both positions. Every private patient is cared for by Mr Ghei personally, from first appointment through to any treatment that follows.
