What can patients expect?

The innovative outpatient procedure takes approximately 30 minutes; no overnight stay is required:

• Silicon balloons are placed on either side of the bladder neck to provide support to the bladder by restricting the flow of urine through two valves.
• Balloons are connected to a titanium filling port.
• During adjustment visits, the implanted balloons are tailored to each person's individual needs.
• Small needle is inserted through the skin into the port to add or remove fluids.
• Optimal results are generally achieved in 3- 4 adjustment visits.
• Device does not need to be manipulated by the patient at any time.

Many people who have had kidney stones, tend to continue making them. There are a number of options to help people avoid making new kidney stones. This process starts with a chemical analysis of the stone to determine what it is made of. An increase in fluid intake sufficient to generate 2 liters of urine a day is typically recommended. Further evaluation into stone prevention requires a 24 hour urine collection done at home and mailed to a special laboratory for analysis. Our providers analyze and interpret the 24 hour urine chemistry, and create a customized kidney stone prevention plan for the patient. Such a plan usually involves a dietary modification and sometimes medication. If the treatment plan is followed consistently, kidney stone production is typically reduced by over 90%.
