Combined Surgery (ECIRS): a solution for complex cases
In patients with extensive kidney stones or those located in hard-to-reach areas, the combined approach called ECIRS (Endoscopic Combined Intrarenal Surgery) allows the simultaneous use of two routes: percutaneous access (nephrolithotomy) and flexible endoscopic access. This combined technique, when associated with high-power laser use, offers a real chance of complete resolution in a single procedure, with lower risk of complications and shorter hospital stay.

Laser for the Prostate: the HoLEP Technique
Laser is not exclusive to kidney stones. It has also revolutionized the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition that affects many men over the age of 50. The laser enucleation technique known as HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of the Prostate) is now considered the most modern and lasting treatment for BPH.
With HoLEP, it is possible to completely remove the prostate tissue causing obstruction, with minimal bleeding, no abdominal incisions, and bladder function preservation. Recovery is faster than with traditional surgeries, and the risk of reintervention is extremely low.
