What does gravel family do
In the modern medical system, lithotripsy department is a relatively niche but very important department, mainly responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of urinary stones. With the changes in lifestyle, the incidence of urinary stones has increased year by year, and the role of lithotridae is becoming increasingly prominent. This article will combine popular topics and hot contents on the entire network for the past 10 days to introduce you in detail the functions, technical means and related data of the lithotripsy.
1. Functions of the gravel department
The lithotrix family, full name of the "In vitro shock wave lithotrix family", is a branch of the urology department that focuses on the treatment of urinary stones through non-invasive or minimally invasive methods. Its main functions include:
1.diagnosis: Determine the location, size and properties of the stone through imaging examinations (such as B-ultrasound, CT, etc.).
2.treat: The stones were crushed using in vitro shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), percutaneous nephroscopic lithotripsy (PCNL).
3.prevention: Provide patients with diet and lifestyle advice to reduce the risk of stone recurrence.
2. The relationship between popular topics on the entire network and lithotripsy in the past 10 days
Through the analysis of hot content on the entire network for the past 10 days, we found that the following topics are closely related to lithotripsy:
| Hot Topics | Related content | Popularity index |
|---|---|---|
| High incidence of urinary stones in summer | Dehydration caused by high temperatures, and the incidence of stones increased | ★★★★☆ |
| Advances in minimally invasive surgery technology | New gravel equipment reduces patient pain | ★★★☆☆ |
| Popular Science of Healthy Eating | How to prevent stones through diet | ★★★★★ |
3. Commonly used technical means of lithotripsy
The core technology of the lithotripsy family is in vitro shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), but minimally invasive technology has developed rapidly in recent years. The following is a comparison of common treatment methods:
| Technical name | Suitable for stone size | Recovery time | Success rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Extracorporeal shock wave gravel (ESWL) | <2cm | 3-7 days | 85%-90% |
| Percutaneous nephroscopic lithotripsy (PCNL) | >2cm | 5-10 days | 90%-95% |
| Ureteroscopic gravel (URL) | <1.5cm | 2-5 days | 80%-85% |
4. Prevention and health advice for urinary stones
In combination with recent health science popularization hotspots, the following are practical suggestions for preventing urinary stones:
1.Drink more water: It is recommended to drink 2-3 liters of water every day to keep the urine diluted.
2.Dietary adjustment: Reduce intake of high-salt and high-protein foods to avoid the formation of calcium oxalate stones.
3.Regular physical examinations: Especially for people with a history of stones, it is recommended to undergo B-ultrasound examination every six months.
5. Summary
As an important branch of urology, the lithotripsy department provides efficient and minimally invasive treatment plans for stone patients through advanced technical means. With the arrival of the peak period of summer stones, the public should improve their awareness of urinary stones and take scientific preventive measures. If you or your family experience symptoms such as low back pain, hematuria, etc., it is recommended to seek medical treatment in a timely manner and a professional lithotripsy doctor will evaluate and treat it.
