Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is an advanced, minimally invasive procedure designed to remove large or complex kidney stones. During PCNL, a small incision is made in the back, through which a nephroscope—a specialized surgical instrument—is inserted directly into the kidney. Using this device, the urologist can precisely locate and remove the kidney stones. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically involves a short hospital stay.
Common Symptoms of Kidney Stones
Why This Procedure is Important?
PCNL is particularly important for removing kidney stones that are too large to pass naturally or cannot be treated effectively with other methods like shock wave lithotripsy or ureteroscopy. If left untreated, these stones can lead to serious complications such as kidney damage, recurrent infections, or even sepsis. By opting for PCNL, patients can relieve pain, prevent further complications, and restore normal kidney function.
