Dear Mr Girish PCNL is good option for you. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimal access surgical procedure to remove stones from the kidney by a small puncture wound only about 1 cm through the skin. It is most suitable to remove stones of more than 2 cm in size and which are present near the Pelvic region. It is usually done under general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia. This procedure is done under C arm guided and less invasive. We advice you to go for PCNL. Most patients leave the hospital after overnight observation. Many require half the pain medication. At the HealthEast Kidney Stone Institute, 90% of patients with large, complex stones are able to have the tubeless procedure. While PCNL can be used to treat stones in any location and of any size, it is often reserved for the largest and most complex stones as Kidney stones treated with PCNL are usually larger than 1.5 cm or cannot be effectively treated with or ureteroscopy. On occasion, smaller stones may be treated by PCNL if there is a history of serious infection or if the kidney is malformed. With regards M K Gupta |
