Kidney stones can be excruciatingly painful, and while some small ones may pass on their own, others need to be removed by a doctor. Ureteroscopy is a non-surgical alternative that can be very effective in removing many stones. Here's how it works.
About Dr. Lesani
Alex Lesani, MD is proud to offer the latest and most advanced treatment options in urology at his practice in Las Vegas, Nevada. With over twelve years of experience and a patient-centered focus on minimally invasive techniques, it’s no wonder that more Nevadans choose Dr. Lesani for robotic surgery than any other urologist. A board-certified urologist, Dr. Lesani provides care not only to Las Vegans but also to patients from Southern Utah as well as Northern Arizona.
Dr. Lesani attended the University of Texas Health Science Center, where he earned his medical degree. He later completed a surgical internship and urology residency at Case Western Reserve School of Medicine in Cleveland, and a fellowship in minimally invasive surgery at Northwestern University School of Medicine in Chicago. He served as an instructor of urology at Northwestern Medical Center prior to joining Las Vegas Urology.
Dr. Lesani adheres to the philosophy that “it’s not the cancer you remove from the patient, but rather it’s the patient you preserve from cancer.” This focus on patient care shines through in his work, and he remains dedicated to providing the safest, least disruptive, minimally invasive care whenever possible, including the latest in robotic procedures.
As a highly respected robotic surgeon and a fellowship-trained urologist in southern Nevada, Dr. Lesani‘s academic work has been presented at urology conferences at home and abroad. In his spare time, he gives back to his peers and the medical community, publishing articles and authoring chapters in books such as the “Mastery of Surgery” and “Management of Urologic Malignancies.” He serves as an invited faculty for the North American Robotic Urology Symposium, an organization dedicated to promoting cutting edge advances in robotics surgery.
