Precision stone-breaking:
Once it reaches the stone, the robot generates fine mechanical vibrations that break the stone into tiny fragments. These pieces then pass naturally through the urinary tract.
Minimized discomfort:
Because the robot avoids incisions, endoscopes, and strong shock-wave treatments, patients experience much less pain, recover faster, and require fewer pain medications.
Why This Technology Matters
-
No surgery required: The treatment avoids large incisions, anesthesia risks, and long recovery times.
-
Reduced complications: The robot’s precision helps protect delicate tissues that are often irritated during conventional treatments.
-
Access to difficult stones: Its tiny size enables it to reach stones in locations that are otherwise challenging for doctors.
