PERCUTANEOUS NEPHROLITHOTOMY is one of the important methods of treatments that we undertake for removing kidney stones that are quite large(>2cm diameter). Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is used for the circumstances when the stones are large in size and number, scattered over a large surface area.

PCNL PROCEDURE


After the patient had been prepared for the surgery after anaesthesia, a 1cm incision is made on the kidney so as to pass the tube into the kidney to perform the stone removal. X-Ray imaging is used to assist the entry of the tube.

The procedure is minimally invasive which can be done by a keyhole surgery which radically decreases the chances of causing infections after the surgery. It also decreases the recovery time needed.
