PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) – Gold Standard for Large Kidney Stone Removal

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a highly effective minimally invasive procedure used to remove large or complex kidney stones, typically over 2 cm in size. The surgery involves making a small incision in the back to access the kidney directly and remove the stone using specialized instruments. This method offers high stone clearance rates in a single session and is preferred when other treatments like RIRS or ESWL are not suitable.

Dr Uday Bhaskar, one of the most experienced urologists in JP Nagar, Bangalore, has successfully performed hundreds of PCNL surgeries with excellent outcomes. His expertise ensures precise stone removal while minimizing kidney damage and reducing post-operative discomfort.

The procedure is done under general anesthesia, and most patients require a short hospital stay of 1–2 days. PCNL is particularly recommended for staghorn stones, multiple stones in the kidney, or cases where stones have caused repeated infections or severe obstruction. With modern endoscopic tools and high-resolution imaging, PCNL offers maximum efficiency with minimal scarring.

Recovery from PCNL is generally faster compared to traditional open surgery. Patients are advised to maintain proper hydration, follow a kidney-friendly diet, and undergo periodic check-ups to prevent recurrence. Dr Bhaskar provides a personalized care plan after surgery to ensure long-term kidney health.

Our urology center follows strict infection control measures and uses advanced surgical technology, ensuring safety and high success rates. Whether the stones are hard, large, or located deep within the kidney, PCNL remains the gold standard for effective removal in a single procedure.
