Do you know what Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy is? Well, I will give you an answer for
that. Percutaneous means through the skin and the Nephrolithotomy is a
combination of the word roots nephro- (kidney), litho-(stone) and -tomy
(removal)
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy is a procedure that is used for the treatment of kidney
stones. The procedure is especially in the patients with large or irregularly
shaped kidney stones, people with infections, stones that have not been broken
up enough by SWL called extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
This procedure requires stones that are bigger
than 2 cm as that of the size of a marble. Large numbers of patients from all
over the world come to India for the low cost Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Surgery. The cost is extremely less than the other western countries.
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Surgery India generally involves entering the kidney through a minor incision in the
back. Moreover, a miniature fiberoptic camera which is known as a nephroscope in the
medical term and the other small tools are threaded in through the hole once
the surgeon gets to the kidney.
Nephrolithotripsy is a term that is
used when the stone is removed and broken up. The surgeon of India uses a
suction machine when they see the stone and uses high frequency sound waves to
break up the stone, and vacuum up the dust.
The patients who are suffering from the kidney
stones problems, Consider India to be the first choice destination because no
other country can treat you like India, Believe me!!
