Nephrolithotomy

This is a surgical intervention that is done when a patient is having kidney stones that are too big, in this surgery, the doctor uses a small scope, along with instruments to pluck or vacuum the stones, through a small cut in the back. It’s sometimes also called percutaneous or through-the-skin nephrolithotomy or stone extraction.

 


 


More About Treatment

Why You Need A Nephrolithotomy?

If the stone is unusually large, it might be difficult for the doctor to get it extracted through other surgeries by the medium of shockwaves or lasers. Nephrolithotomy may be a good alternative when the stone is about 4/5 of an inch in diameter which is exactly the size of a nickel or bigger. It is also done in cases when the stones are very dense or the patient has branched stones, a condition called Staghorn that blocks a large part of the kidneys.


FAQ's

How long does the PCNL procedure take?

The PCNL procedure usually takes one to four hours depending upon the size of the stone, the number, and its location.

How long does it take to recover from the procedure?

It takes around a week to two weeks to recover fully from the procedure.

Does the procedure completely cure the patient of kidney stones?

The procedure removes large kidney stones, but residual stones may remain in the kidney. Also, the underlying disease condition that could have given rise to the stone should also be addressed to prevent future stone formation.

Patient Stories

  1. My sister was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease at a very young age which was a hard time for our family as a whole. All I wanted to do is try find her a cure at the earliest possible. A colleague of mine recommended India for treatment and we started looking online for the best possible Hospitals and we came across Medtravels. We filled up their query form and within a short time I received a call from their helpdesk, I shared all the reports with them and within a day’s time they provided me with all the necessary details. Medtravels also helped us with Visa Assistance and once we reached India, they ensured that the whole process is an easy ride. There interpreter was also of great help. After a successful surgery in India, my sister is now slowly moving towards the path of a normal life. I can’t thank Medtravels enough for all the help they have rendered to us. For our family, they are boon.
