What is PCNL?

PCNL, or Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy, is a cutting-edge procedure used to remove large or complex kidney stones. This minimally invasive surgery ensures effective stone removal with reduced discomfort and faster recovery.

How PCNL Works

1. Minimally Invasive Technique:
   PCNL involves a small incision in the back to access the kidney. Using imaging guidance, a nephroscope is inserted to locate, break, and remove the stones.
2. Efficient Stone Removal:
   This procedure is ideal for stones larger than 2 cm, particularly those that cannot be treated with medications or extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL).

Advantages of PCNL

1. High Success Rate:
   PCNL effectively removes stones of various sizes and complexities, providing immediate relief from symptoms.
2. Faster Recovery:
   The minimally invasive nature of PCNL means less tissue damage, resulting in quicker healing and minimal downtime.
3. Reduced Risks:
   Compared to traditional open surgery, PCNL has fewer complications and less scarring.

Why Choose PCNL?

PCNL is particularly suitable for patients with large, recurring, or complex stones. The procedure not only improves kidney function but also prevents future complications caused by untreated stones. With the help of skilled urologists, PCNL ensures a smooth and comfortable experience, enabling patients to regain their health and quality of life quickly.
