The gold standard for large, complex kidney stones. Dr. Subhash Kataria utilizes precision endoscopic tracts to directly fragment and completely clear stones with a "band-aid" sized incision.

When kidney stones are too large (typically over 2cm), unusually shaped, or too dense to be treated with ESWL, PCNL is the most effective solution. Instead of a large open incision, this procedure is performed through a tiny, 1-centimeter "keyhole" in the back.
A specialized nephroscope is inserted directly into the kidney. Dr. Kataria then uses advanced holmium lasers or ultrasonic probes to shatter the stone and immediately suction out the fragments. This ensures maximum stone clearance in a single setting.
Dr. Kataria is highly trained in "Microperc"—an ultra-minimally invasive evolution of standard PCNL. Instead of a 1cm tract, Microperc uses a microscopic needle-sized puncture (as small as 4.8 French).
Large stones, specifically staghorn calculi, can cause irreversible kidney damage if left untreated. Trust an All India Rank 1 specialist to execute your surgery with absolute precision.
