Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
PCNL is a modern surgical technique used to treat large or complex kidney stones that are not suitable for other less invasive procedures. Unlike traditional open surgery, PCNL involves making a small incision in the back through which a nephroscope is inserted directly into the kidney. This allows the surgeon to visualize and break down the stones using specialized instruments, followed by their removal.

When to Consider PCNL Surgery?
PCNL surgery is typically recommended for patients with:
- Large kidney stones: Stones too large to pass naturally or be treated with other less invasive methods.
- Complex kidney stones: Stones located in challenging positions within the kidney.
- Stones causing recurrent infections or obstruction: Stones that are causing ongoing health issues.
- Failure of other treatments: When other less invasive treatments have not been successful.
What to Expect During and After PCNL Surgery
Before the procedure, you will undergo a thorough evaluation, including imaging tests, to determine the size and location of the stones. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Following the procedure, you can expect a short hospital stay for monitoring and pain management. Our team will provide detailed post-operative instructions to aid in your recovery.
