About this Procedure
PCNL (percutaneous nephrolithotomy) is keyhole surgery to remove kidney stones directly from the kidney. A small cut is made in the back, a track is created into the kidney, and a thin telescope (nephroscope) is passed through it. The stone is then pulled out or broken into smaller pieces using a laser or other energy.
It is usually recommended for stones that are too large to pass on their own or to be treated by going up through the bladder, and for stones that are blocking urine flow, causing infections, causing ongoing pain or damaging the kidney. The choice between PCNL, ureteroscopy and shock wave lithotripsy depends on the size and position of your stones.
PCNL is always carried out under general anaesthetic. After the stone is removed, a small drainage tube (nephrostomy tube) may be placed in the kidney and a stent in the ureter to help the kidney heal. According to MedlinePlus, you may be able to go home within 24 hours, although your surgeon may keep you longer if there are problems. The tubes are removed once X-rays show the stones are gone and the kidney has healed. Sometimes a further procedure is needed to clear remaining fragments.
PCNL is offered at Medwell's partner hospitals in Delhi NCR, including BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi, Fortis Memorial Research Institute and Paras Health in Gurugram, and Fortis Hospital, Noida. Medwell helps you share your CT scan in advance and plan enough time for tube removal and follow-up.
