It is a keyhole surgery for removal of kidney stones in which instruments with small diameter are used for smaller kidney punctures. Laser, pneumatic and ultrasound devices are used in the process to fragment stones and there is very less bleeding in the process. With highest power Lumenis Power suite Holmium Laser machine, even hard and large stones are fragmented quickly. With less bleeding.With help of Flexible nephroscope & holmium laser even complex or multiple stones can be treated by single puncture.

We are one of the  offering the PCNL treatment in India since 2000 and have over 5000 successful cases to our credit. Dr. Gabani has vast experience in simple and complex PCNL in India - single kidney, large and multiple stones, bilateral PCNL in single sitting, paediatric PCNL, stones with renal impairment with excellent results – high rate of complete clearance, minimal morbidity.

In this procedure by small 1 cm incision in flank under anesthesia & under vision of nephroscope – any hard or big stone can be fragmented by pneumatic Lithotripsy & removed. Usual operative time is 30 to 60 minutes & usually patients dose not requires blood transfusion. Patients needs 48 hrs. hospitalization & 1 or 2 days more rest then patient can resume his duty. Usually by procedure 99% of big renal stone can be treated successfully. We have successfully performed more then 3000 PCNL includes single, multiple, bilateral, staghorn & complicated renal stones.

Now with advantage of newer technology like flexible nephroscope & use of Holmium laser multiple stones from different calices can be removed by single puncture.

We have mini perk & MIP – minimally invasive PCNL – In  which size is only 4 mm so puncture size can be reduced to 5 mm instead of  10 mm (1CM) patient will have less pain & early recovery to work .
