STORZ Stone Fragmentation Center: Effective Kidney and Urinary Tract Stone Removal At the STORZ Stone Fragmentation Center, stones of any size and composition in the kidneys and urinary tract are effectively fragmented using the MODULITH SLX-F2 device.
- Unique membrane created with nanotechnology
- Cylindrical source for generating shockwaves, known as the generator
- Shockwaves from the cylindrical source extend to a depth of 18 cm
- New type of X-ray, Flat Panel technology, makes even X-ray invisible stones visible
- Universal auto-targeting mode
- Ultrasound system for intra-procedural monitoring – full control of the stone fragmentation process and other manipulations
This advanced stone fragmentation method is discussed by Guram Karazanashvili, the leading specialist and urologist at the “Karazanashvili Robotic Center”:
“Stone fragmentation today is performed with the new generation of endoscopes. The procedure takes place in an X-ray operating room. The X-ray machine is necessary to control the movement of the endoscope within the body. Its radiation dose is minimal, while the visualization is optimal. A video camera is placed at the end of the endoscope, transmitting information to a large screen. The laser fragments the stones, turning them into pieces, which are mechanically extracted from the urinary tract.
However, today we almost no longer use mechanical evacuation of fragments, as the laser quality is so high that it effectively turns the stones into powder, and this powder is naturally expelled.”
The “Karazanashvili Robotic Center” offers the fragmentation and treatment of kidney stones and urinary tract stones of any size and composition. using methods that meet global medical standards.
