The Jacques Cartier private hospital, a Ramsay Santé establishment located in Massy (Essonne), is strengthening its urological care by offering a “Urinary Calculus SOS”. A simplification of the care pathway for the patient, which constitutes a step forward in emergency management.
Drs Hibon, Mikaelian, Safsaf and Watfa are urological surgeons at the Jacques Cartier Private Hospital. Instigators of the SOS Urinary Calculus program, they work, among other things, to take care of patients suffering from this pathology.
A simplified treatment path
When a stone forms in the urinary tract, the pain can quickly become crippling. This is why rapid support is necessary. With its SOS Urinary Calculations course, a multidisciplinary team receives patients who are referred by their general practitioner, or who spontaneously present to the emergency room, whatever the hour. A dedicated number has been sent to city doctors so that they can notify caregivers. The goal is to quickly relieve pain with the emergency physician, immediately access a low-dose CT scan with the radiologist, make a diagnosis and establish a course of action with the urologist. “If a surgical intervention is necessary, it is carried out immediately, explains Dr Watfa. If drug treatment is recommended, the patient is placed under surveillance and a follow-up consultation is immediately offered. ”
With the SOS Urinary Calculation program, the Jacques Cartier Private Hospital wishes to simplify the patient’s care path, in particular thanks to a high-performance technical platform and a dedicated team of experts. “We have all the resources on site to take care of patients from A to Z, even those requiring a bed in intensive care in the event of serious pathology.says Dr Safsaf. It is an undeniable asset ”.

A state-of-the-art laser
The ambition of the establishment is to become a reference center in the treatment of urological pathologies. This is why he has also invested in a new very powerful and ultra precise laser system, produced by Olympus, capable of reducing urinary stones to dust instead of fragmenting them. “These fine particles are then eliminated naturally with the urine flow. It is no longer systematically necessary to insert a catheter, which is often very poorly tolerated, or to perform a second surgical intervention ”, says Dr. Hibon. This minimally invasive surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, which is a considerable advantage for the patient. “With the Soltive laser, the act is faster and more precise. The anesthesia is therefore shorter, as is the duration of hospitalization. The patient can thus resume his activities without waiting ”, concludes Dr Mikaelian.
