Introduction
Kidney stones can become severe and difficult to treat when they grow large or do not pass naturally. In such cases, PCNL treatment offers a highly effective and minimally invasive solution. At Prabhakar Bhurke Clinic, patients receive advanced care from a super specialist nephrologist, ensuring safe and successful kidney stone removal.
What Is PCNL Treatment?
PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to remove large or complex kidney stones directly from the kidney. It involves making a small incision in the back to access and remove the stone.
When Is PCNL Recommended?
A super specialist doctor may suggest PCNL if:
Kidney stones are large (typically over 2 cm)
Stones are hard and cannot be broken easily
Multiple stones are present
Other treatments like ESWL or medications have failed
How PCNL Treatment Works
A small incision is made in the back
A thin tube is inserted into the kidney
Stones are broken using ultrasound or laser
Fragments are removed safely
The procedure is performed under anesthesia and usually takes a few hours.
Benefits of PCNL Treatment
