At CARE Hospitals, we employ the latest surgical innovations to enhance the safety and efficacy of PCNL procedures and ensure advanced large kidney stone removal surgery:
High-definition digital nephroscope for superior visualisation
Advanced ultrasonic and pneumatic lithotripters for efficient stone fragmentation
Flexible nephroscope for accessing hard-to-reach stones
State-of-the-art fluoroscopy systems for real-time imaging guidance
Cutting-edge laser technology for precise stone disintegration
Advanced irrigation and suction systems for optimal visibility during surgery
When is Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) Surgery Recommended?
Doctors recommend PCNL for various kidney stone-related conditions, including:
CARE Hospitals offers different PCNL approaches tailored to each patient’s specific needs:
Standard PCNL: In this traditional procedure, doctors make a single incision in the back and insert a nephroscope to remove or break the large stones directly
Mini-PCNL: Utilises a smaller incision and nephroscope to remove smaller kidney stones
Ultra-mini PCNL: In this advanced technique, doctors use smaller instruments than mini-PCNL to remove stones precisely with minimal tissue damage
Tubeless PCNL: This procedure is a modified version of standard PCNL where no nephrostomy tube is used post-surgery
Supine PCNL: In this technique, the patient is positioned on their back during surgery, providing better access to kidney stones, reducing complications, and offering improved safety and comfort during the procedure
Pre-PCNL Surgery Preparation
Proper preparation ensures the success of PCNL surgery. Our surgical team guides patients through detailed preparation steps, including:
The following are percutaneous nephrolithotomy steps:
සාමාන්‍ය පරිපාලනය නිර්වින්දනය to ensure patient comfort during the surgery
Creation of a small incision in the back
Insertion of a hollow needle into the kidney under fluoroscopic guidance
Dilation of the tract to allow insertion of instruments
Fragmentation of the stone using advanced lithotripsy techniques
Removal of stone fragments
Placement of a temporary nephrostomy tube or stent, if necessary
The surgery duration is usually between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the stone.
Post-PCNL Surgery Recovery
Smooth recovery after PCNL is crucial for optimal outcomes. At CARE Hospitals, we provide:
Expert pain management tailored to each patient's requirement
Monitoring for complications of PCNL surgery
Nephrostomy tube or stent care instructions
Advice on hydration management and dietary habit
Post-surgical imaging to ensure the stone has been completely removed
Regular check-ups to monitor kidney health and prevent future stone formation
PCNL recovery time varies but typically involves a hospital stay of 2-3 days, followed by a few weeks of at-home recovery.
PCNL Complications
While our urological team takes every precaution to ensure a safe procedure, PCNL carries some risks, like any surgery. These may include:
වෑස්සීම
ආසාදන
අවට අවයව වලට තුවාල වීම
මුත්රා පිටවීම
අවශේෂ ගල් කැබලි

PCNL, also called Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy, is a minimally invasive surgical method used to remove large or complex kidney stones through a small incision in the back.
PCNL surgery typically takes between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the location, dimension, and complexity of the stone.
While our team takes every precaution, risks may include bleeding, infection, injury to surrounding vital structures, and urinary leakage.
Recovery time varies but typically involves a hospital stay of 2-3 days, followed by a few weeks of at-home recovery. Most patients can resume to normal activities within 2-4 weeks.
PCNL is generally considered safe when performed by experienced urologists. At CARE Hospitals, we take extensive precautions to minimise risks and ensure patient safety.
While some post-operative discomfort is expected, it is manageable with pain management. Our expert pain management team ensures you are comfortable throughout your recovery using advanced techniques tailored to urological procedures.
PCNL is considered a minimally invasive procedure, less invasive than traditional open kidney surgery. However, it still requires proper preparation and recovery.
Return to activities is gradual. Light activities may resume within a week, but full recovery often takes 2-4 weeks. We provide personalised guidance for each patient’s recovery journey.
If complications occur after PCNL surgery, immediate medical attention is required. Our team provides comprehensive post-operative care and is equipped to handle any complications promptly.
Most insurance plans cover medically necessary PCNL procedures. Our dedicated insurance support team will assist you in verifying your surgery coverage and understanding your benefits.
If a stent is placed during PCNL, it is typically removed in an outpatient procedure 1-2 weeks after surgery. The removal is usually quick and can be done under local anaesthesia.
While PCNL is generally safe, there is a small risk of kidney damage. However, our experienced surgeons use advanced techniques and imaging to minimise this risk. Long-term kidney function is rarely affected by PCNL when performed by skilled doctors.
