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.
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.
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.
