Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Surgery In India

 

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a preferred treatment for large stones within the kidney or upper ureter. The procedure involves making a small incision (1 cm) in the back overlying the location of the kidney. A tunnel is then created from the skin into the kidney to allow passage of a nephroscope. The nephroscope is used to locate the existing stone and any small stones that may not have been visible by X-ray. The nephroscope has an inner channel that allows passage of instruments that are used to break up the stone.....

 

This procedure may be used to treat kidney stones that are : -

Larger than in diameter. Large and caused by an infection (staghorn calculi). Blocking the flow of urine out of the kidney.  Not broken up by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL)....
