Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) at Curis Life, Andheri West

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a minimally invasive procedure used for kidney stone removal surgery in patients with large or complex stones. At Curis Life Multispecialty Clinic in Andheri West, our expert urologists specialize in this advanced technique for treating renal calculi, staghorn calculus, and cases where other methods like ESWL or RIRS may not be effective.

What is PCNL Surgery?

PCNL surgery is a keyhole technique for extracting kidney stones directly through a small incision in the back. It’s the gold standard for large kidney stone surgery or stones that are resistant to non-surgical treatments. Using flexible nephroscopy and laser stone fragmentation, our urologists ensure precise and complete stone burden reduction.

Symptoms of Severe Kidney Stones:

• Persistent back or side pain
