Dr. Shteynshlyuger <\/span>coupled a humanistic approach with the best available science on the prevention and treatment of kidney stones to offer outstanding medical and surgical care for men and women suffering from kidney stones.<\/p>\n Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger is an accomplished surgeon who is fellowship-trained in minimally invasive treatment options for kidney stones, including lithotripsy. Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger<\/a> opened <\/b>the first comprehensive Kidney Stone Clinic in NYC. Our clinic addresses the previously unaddressed need for a comprehensive approach to keeping patients stone-free, with prevention as a major focus of care.<\/strong> We have extensive experience in caring for patients with complex kidney stone histories. Dr. Alex enjoys the surgical challenges and the medical complexity of evaluating and treating men and women with kidney stones.<\/p>\n When it comes to leadership in innovative kidney stone care, Dr. Alex was among the first urologists advocating non-surgical treatment for small ureteral stones, called medically expulsive therapy. This approach has become the standard of care nationwide.<\/p>\n Choosing the right treatment requires a thorough understanding of the effectiveness of each treatment modality in different situations.<\/p>\n Using more modern approaches to kidney stone care in combination with the latest research and advanced technologies, we are able to minimize the number of procedures necessary to make patients stone-free. We optimize our approaches to minimize risks and maximize the success of treatment for each patient. Using such parameters as Hounsfield units (HU), stone size, and stone location<\/a>.<\/p>\n Kidney stones<\/strong> or renal calculi are a common problem worldwide, with an incidence of 8 to 15% in the USA and Europe. Stones most frequently occur in men and women aged 20 to 40 years, although stones are seen in all age groups. Kidney stones occur more frequently with increasing age, and there is a male-to-female ratio of 3:2. Among<\/span> patients who experienced one episode of kidney stones, the disease usually recurs in more than 50% of patients within 10 years<\/strong>. Kidney stones are associated with chronic kidney disease, bone disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and metabolic syndrome.<\/p>\n Kidney stones<\/strong> develop when mineral crystals precipitate out from the urine and aggregate within the kidney. Kidney stones usually leave the body with the urine stream. Many small stones are formed and passed without causing any symptoms. If stones grow to a sufficient size (usually at least 3 mm), they can obstruct the ureter. Kidney stones >5 mm in diameter are at a higher risk of getting stuck in the ureter.<\/p>\n Urologists at New York Urology Specialists are among the ranks of elite urologists in NYC who provide care for kidney stones. <\/p>\n Did you know?<\/strong><\/span> Dr. Shteynshlyuger<\/a> <\/strong>has performed over 1,000 kidney and bladder surgeries,<\/strong> including ureteroscopy, cystoscopy, ESWL lithotripsy, and PCNL<\/b>.
