Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) Surgery in Ahmedabad
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.
PCNL offers a high success rate with a reduced recovery time compared to traditional open surgery. It is a highly effective option for patients with large or multiple kidney stones, ensuring a quick return to normal life.
Common Symptoms of Kidney Stones
- Intense pain in the back or side
- Blood in the urine
- Frequent urinary tract infections
- Renal Dysfunction
- Persistent nausea or vomiting
Why is this Procedure 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.
