Kidney stones can cause some of the most intense pain a person can experience — sudden, severe pain in the back or side, blood in urine, nausea, and difficulty passing urine are all signs that stones may be present in your kidneys. While small stones can sometimes pass on their own, larger or more complex stones require surgical intervention. Dr. Arpit Panchal at Shree Hospital and ICU, Vadodara performs Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) — a minimally invasive surgical procedure specifically designed to remove large or stubborn kidney stones effectively and safely.
PCNL involves making a small keyhole incision in the back through which a thin instrument is passed directly into the kidney to locate and remove the stone. Unlike open kidney surgery, PCNL results in significantly less post-operative pain, a shorter hospital stay, and a faster return to normal daily activities — making it the preferred choice for large kidney stones that cannot be managed by other methods.
Not all kidney stones are the same — and not all of them need surgery. Dr. Arpit Panchal evaluates each patient thoroughly to determine whether PCNL, another procedure, or conservative management is the most appropriate path forward. When surgery is needed, you can be confident that it will be performed with the highest level of care at Shree Hospital and ICU, Vadodara.
