Kidney Stone Removal (URSL/PCNL) Treatment in India

Kidney stone removal treats stones that are too large to pass naturally or that cause significant pain, blockage, or infection. Depending on stone size and location, surgeons use ureteroscopy (URSL) or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), both minimally invasive techniques that break up and remove stones without large incisions.

• Severe pain in the side or back, often radiating to the groin
• Blood in the urine
• Nausea or vomiting
• Frequent or painful urination
• Fever or chills (if infection is present)

Stone removal is generally recommended when stones are too large to pass naturally, cause persistent pain, block urine flow, or lead to infection. Imaging studies help determine stone size, location, and the best treatment approach.

• Performed under general or spinal anesthesia
• URSL: a scope is passed through the urinary tract to locate and break up the stone
• PCNL: a small incision in the back allows direct access to larger kidney stones
• Laser or other energy sources are used to fragment stones for removal
• Procedure typically takes 1-2 hours

• 1-3 days hospital stay depending on procedure
• A temporary stent may be placed to aid healing
• Most patients resume normal activity within 1-2 weeks
• Follow-up imaging confirms complete stone clearance
• Hydration and dietary guidance help prevent recurrence

• Experienced endourology specialists using advanced laser technology
• Minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery
• High stone clearance success rates
• Transparent, all-inclusive pricing
• Dedicated coordination for international patients
