🩺 Successful Treatment of Large Staghorn Kidney Stone 🩺
We recently treated a patient with a large complete staghorn kidney stone using PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) and achieved complete stone clearance in a single sitting.
🔹 What is a staghorn stone?
Staghorn stones are large kidney stones that occupy most of the kidney and can silently damage kidney function if left untreated.
🔹 What is PCNL?
PCNL is a minimally invasive keyhole surgery where stones are removed through a small puncture in the back, avoiding open surgery.
🔹 Benefits of PCNL:
✔ Complete stone removal even for large stones
✔ Small incision, less pain
✔ Faster recovery
✔ Kidney function preserved
🛑Kidney stones may not always cause severe pain. Recurrent infections, fever, or silent kidney damage can be warning signs. Early consultation with a urologist can prevent complications and save kidney function.
📍 If you or your family members have recurrent urinary infections, flank pain, or a history of kidney stones, don’t ignore it.
