Kidney stones can be removed through various methods, often depending on the size and location of the stone.
One method for kidney stone removal is percutaneous nephrolithotomy. This is often the most effective way to remove larger kidney stones. Here's what that involves:
-
Procedure Details: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes about three hours.
-
Recovery: Patients usually stay at the clinic for two to three days after the procedure.
