About PCNL Surgery
PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) is a minimally invasive kidney stone surgery performed to remove large, multiple, or complex renal stones that cannot be treated with medication or simpler procedures like ESWL or URSL.
At Paras Hospital, Patna, PCNL is carried out by experienced urologists in a sterile and advanced surgical setting using endoscopic techniques. The procedure involves creating a small incision in the back to access the kidney and remove stones directly, ensuring high success rates and faster recovery.
