Pancreatic Stones Centre

A dedicated centre was the need of the hour as pancreatic stones are very commonly seen in our country and are very difficult to treat without surgery. Using the world’s latest & India’s first ESWL and LASER technology now these stones can be treated without surgery.

Using ESWL, the hard pancreatic stones can be crushed into a powder from outside without any external cut. It uses electromagnetic shock wave technology and pulverises the stones into a powder of less than 5mm size. Once this is done, the crushed stones can be removed using an endoscopic technique called ERCP.Using ESWL, the hard pancreatic stones can be crushed into a powder from outside without any external cut.

If the stones are too hard to be crushed by ESWL, they can be identified and crushed directly by shooting them with the LASER beam. The crushed stones are then removed through an endoscope without surgery.

Patients do not need to undergo a surgical procedure but get the entire treatment done without any external cut. The patient recovery and return to productive life is also faster. Because of the new technology and experience of the doctors, this non-surgical treatment can also be done for children as small as 3-year-old.
