Urinary stone disease is one of the most common urological problems and, with timely diagnosis and properly selected treatment, can be effectively managed.
In this video, Dr. Nika Gagoshidze, urologist and Head of the Stone Fragmentation Center at the Guram Karazanashvili Robotic Center, speaks about the condition.
The Guram Karazanashvili Robotic Center is the first clinic in Georgia and the Caucasus to offer patients non-surgical fragmentation of dense and large stones using modern extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).
Unlike standard previous-generation lithotripters, the modern lithotripter used in our clinic does not damage tissues or organs and has no contraindications.
That is why this treatment method is highly popular among patients, as it does not require anesthesia, is completely safe, short in duration, ensures the natural elimination of stones from the body, and requires no rehabilitation!
⚙️ At the Guram Karazanashvili Robotic Center, the procedure is performed using the latest-generation Storz Modulith lithotripter — a device distinguished by its exceptional precision and effectiveness, especially in cases involving large and difficult-to-reach stones. The treatment strategy chosen by our clinic has gained recognition from Storz, and this technological approach is now being considered by other countries as well.
Clinical practice clearly demonstrates that modern lithotripsy makes it possible to effectively fragment stones of:
✔ any density
✔ any size
✔ any location
within a single procedure!
It is noteworthy that this achievement has been acknowledged by the international company Storz, which featured the experience of the Karazanashvili Robotic Center in an article published on its official website.
