 We at Malaysia are situated in the Endemic Stone Belt which comprises countries in the Middle East, South Asia, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines and New Guinea. The urinary stones incidence here is very high, which may be due to its geographical area, food and its tropical climate. Urinary tract stones occur as a result of a concentrated and subsequently supersaturated urine full of various crystals. They begin to form in the kidney or bladder and may subsequently enlarge. They can fall down from the kidney into the ureter and bladder causing pain.  Depending on where the stone is located, it may be called a kidney stone, ureteral stone, or bladder stone. The process of stone formation is called urolithiasis, renal lithiasis, or nephrolithiasis. Stone can vary in size, shape and composition. If it is very large and follows the outline of the kidney, then it is called a staghorn stone. If it is small and situated in the various pockets in the kidney called the calyx, then it is called a calyceal stone. If it migrates and stays at the pelvis of the kidney then it is called a pelvic or pelvi-ureteric junction stone. Other service includes:
