Percutaneous Renal Stone Surgery
| Percutaneous renal stone surgery is usually performed to remove larger kidney stones. |
The procedure involves making a small incision (1-2cm) in the back and inserting a scope directly into the kidney. Once the kidney stone is visualized through the scope, a laser then breaks the stone into smaller pieces. Once this is accomplished, the pieces are removed.
