ON THE COVER<br />
“I will not cut persons laboring under the stone,<br />
but will leave this to be done by men who are<br />
practitioners of this work.” – Hippocrates<br />
Anand V. Palagiri, M.D., performs laser lithotripsy on Irhad Sehovic, 15, to<br />
remove a large, painful kidney stone. Dr. Palagiri passed a small caliber scope into<br />
Irhad’s urinary tract to reach the painful stone. It was successfully fragmented and<br />
removed with the use of a laser fiber.<br />
Knowledge of stone prevention and treatment has come a long way since<br />
the era of Hippocrates, especially in terms of pediatric stone disease.<br />
In addition to laser lithotripsy, <strong>SSM</strong> <strong>Cardinal</strong> <strong>Glennon</strong>’s Pediatric Stone <strong>Center</strong><br />
offers patients an all-inclusive approach to treating urinary stone disease with the<br />
latest technological treatment advances.<br />
