Evidence-based patient-oriented approach
Kidney Stone Treatment with PNL Method
is the most commonly used method among kidney stone treatment options.
It is an endoscopic (closed) kidney stone surgery that is usually performed through a 1cm incision in the back for stones larger than 2 cm.
The advantage of kidney stone surgery, PNL surgery, is that it significantly reduces the patient’s hospitalization and recovery time compared to open surgery because it is performed through a small incision. With this method, patients can stand up within a day and return to their normal lives within a few days at most.
