Among the notable achievement is the successful removal of a huge renal stone (1.3 cm) using a non-invasive procedure. By utilising the smallest flexible ureteroscopy (7.5 F), the doctors at DSH2 were able to laser the stone completely, eliminating the need for a traditional open surgery of the abdomen. This cutting-edge approach exemplifies DSH2's dedication to providing advanced and minimally invasive treatments for improved patient outcomes.

With the integration of the system, consultants can project high-resolution images and scans of patients in three dimensions. This revolutionary tool enables consultants to visualise and plan surgeries with enhanced precision.
DSH2 features a comprehensive range of state-of-the-art medical facilities, including advanced imaging technologies such as Magnetom Lumina MRI machine Somatom Dual Source CT Scanner, Azurion B20/15 Angiography machine for precise navigation, Hologic Selenia Dimensions 3D Mammography machine, Ultrasound Bone Densitometry, Portable X-Ray Machine, Digital Operation Theatres, and Cathlab.
