Recurrent, large, and complex kidney and ureteral stones, treated with the approach that fits your anatomy, not a single default technique.
Stone disease ranges from a single small stone to large, recurrent, or staghorn stones in patients with complex anatomy or prior surgery. Dr. Farhan offers the full range of endoscopic and percutaneous techniques so the plan can be matched to the stone and the patient.
Success is measured not only by stone clearance, but by getting patients back to work, sleep, travel, and daily life with a plan to reduce recurrence.
Prevention
Removing a stone treats today's problem. The next step is understanding why stones form for you, so the same cycle is less likely to repeat.

Endoscopic Stone SurgeryA small scope passed through the natural urinary tract allows the stone to be fragmented with a laser and removed, without any incision.
By stone size, location, composition, kidney anatomy, medical condition, previous treatment, and overall complexity. The objective is to choose the most appropriate approach for the individual patient rather than applying one technique to everyone.
No. Many small stones pass with hydration, medication, and observation. Treatment is recommended when the stone is unlikely to pass, causes obstruction or infection risk, or continues to affect daily life.
Yes. Recurrent stone disease deserves evaluation beyond the current stone, including review of prior imaging, stone analysis, and contributing factors, so the plan addresses prevention as well as removal.
Bring your prior imaging and operative reports, they often change the plan.
