REMOVAL OF KIDNEY STONE
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, i.e PCNL, is a commonly performed urology procedure for removal of kidney stones.
Kidney stones present a sizable worldwide health problem. If not treated on time, there is risk of loss of kidneys, recurrent UTIs and hematuria (blood in urine). Additionally, prolonged delay in treatment may lead to urosepsis, with the resultant long-term antibiotic usage increasing the overall economic burden.
