Because of the development of endoscopes and their role in lithotripsy, the role of surgical opening in treating kidney stones has become much less than time.
The reasons why endoscopes have more advantages than conventional surgery.

The features of endoscopic kidney stones are:
The percentage of blood loss is less than the surgical opening.
Pain less than surgical opening.
- A faster return to work and less hospitalization.
- You can do a kidney endoscopy more than once, but the surgical opening is often one time because reopening the wound is a difficult process due to the presence of a large amount of fibrous tissue as a result of the first opening.

Complications of the kidney process by surgery:
Infection and bleeding.
Surgical hernia incidence.
Pain at the wound site.
