Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) Introduction
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive surgery to remove large or complex kidney stones. It involves accessing the kidney through a small incision in the back. This procedure helps clear stones that cannot be treated with less invasive methods.
Minimally Invasive Kidney Stone Removal
PCNL is performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. A small tract is created from the skin into the kidney using imaging guidance like X-ray or ultrasound. Specialized instruments, including nephroscopes and stone retrieval devices, are inserted to break and remove the stones. Sometimes ultrasonic or laser energy is used to fragment the stones into smaller pieces. The surgeon ensures complete stone clearance and places a temporary stent or nephrostomy tube if needed. This method effectively removes large or hard-to-reach stones while minimizing tissue damage.
Why it’s done?
- To remove large kidney stones that cannot pass naturally
- To treat stones causing severe pain or urinary obstruction
- To manage recurrent kidney stones that do not respond to other treatments
- To prevent kidney damage due to prolonged stone blockage
