Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove larger kidney stones or stones that are located deep within the kidney.
Overview
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove larger kidney stones or stones that are located deep within the kidney
It involves creating a small incision in the back and inserting a nephroscope through the incision to directly access and remove the kidney stones. PCNL is particularly effective for stones that cannot be treated through other non-invasive methods due to their size or location.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a highly effective and minimally invasive surgical procedure for removing large kidney stones and stones located in challenging areas within the kidney.
By accessing the kidney through a small incision in the back, surgeons can visualize and remove stones directly, leading to quicker relief from symptoms and reduced risk of complications associated with untreated kidney stones.
As with any medical procedure, it’s important for patients to consult with their healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment approach based on their individual condition.
Advantages of PCNL:
- Effective for Large Stones: PCNL is highly effective for removing larger stones or stones located in challenging areas of the kidney.
- Minimally Invasive: While it involves an incision, the procedure is still considered minimally invasive compared to traditional open surgery.
- Single Procedure: PCNL often enables complete stone removal in a single procedure, reducing the need for multiple interventions.
- Shorter Hospital Stay: Patients typically have a shorter hospital stay compared to open surgical procedures.
