01 / Specialisation

02 / Approach
Surgery is not the first answer. Data come first. My job is to choose an adequate intervention and avoid unnecessary treatment.
A complex case is a reason to plan more carefully.
Decision pathway
From diagnosis to follow-upCT, ultrasound, tests and medical history. No decisions based on a single symptom or an image sent through a messenger.
RIRS, URS, MiniPerc or observation — the method is selected according to the stone, anatomy and the patient's risks.
After a procedure, follow-up, stone composition analysis and a recurrence prevention plan are important.
