Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL)

Urinary tract stones occur due to high levels of chemicals that, if they continue to accumulate in the kidneys, can form crystals that resemble stones that commonly form in the kidneys.

If the size is relatively small, kidney stones can move to other organs (Ureter). Meanwhile, if the size tends to be large, kidney stones will be quite difficult to move, triggering irritation in the urinary tract.

PCNL is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to break down large kidney stones. The PCNL procedure involves inserting small instruments through a small incision in the back to remove the kidney stones. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia, requires a short hospital stay, has a high success rate, and a low complication rate.

PCNL can be performed for kidney stone patients with the following conditions:

• Large kidney stones
• Patients who have undergone ESWL but the kidney stones did not break and are located in hard-to-reach areas
• Kidney stones causing infection or severe pain
