Stone extraction ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephrolithonomy (PCNL) are minimally invasive surgical procedures for recurrent kidney stones. A ureteroscopy involves passing a small scope into your ureter and breaking up the stones with a laser, while PCNL uses a slightly larger video scope passed directly into your kidney from your back to remove large stones.
Our stone extraction ureteroscopy and percutaneous nephrolithonomy (PCNL) ERAS program is designed to help patients return to health more quickly after undergoing the procedures.
