Advanced Minimally Invasive Surgery for Kidney Stones in Patna

Kidney stones can cause severe pain, blood in urine, urinary infections, and even kidney damage if left untreated. Large, complex, or difficult-to-reach kidney stones often require advanced surgical treatment for complete stone clearance.

At NIRAMAYAH HOSPITAL, we offer PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) and Flexible URS (Flexible Ureteroscopy / RIRS) using modern endourological technology. Our experienced urologists provide safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment for kidney stones, helping patients achieve maximum stone clearance with faster recovery.

What are Kidney Stones?

Kidney stones are hard mineral deposits that form within the kidneys due to the accumulation of certain substances in urine.

Stones can vary in size from tiny crystals to large stones occupying significant portions of the kidney.

Depending on their size and location, kidney stones may pass naturally or require medical intervention.

Symptoms of Kidney Stones

Common symptoms include:

  • Severe flank or back pain
  • Blood in urine
  • Burning during urination
  • Frequent urination
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Fever and chills (in infected stones)
  • Difficulty passing urine

Prompt medical attention is recommended if these symptoms occur.

When is Surgery Required for Kidney Stones?

Surgical treatment may be recommended when:

  • Stones are too large to pass naturally
  • Severe pain persists
  • Recurrent infections occur
  • Kidney function is affected
  • Urinary obstruction develops
  • Multiple stones are present
  • Previous treatments have failed

Our specialists carefully evaluate each patient before recommending the most appropriate treatment.

PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy)

What is PCNL?

PCNL is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to remove large, complex, or multiple kidney stones.

During the procedure, a small incision is made in the back, allowing direct access to the kidney. Specialized instruments are used to break and remove stones efficiently.PCNL is considered the gold-standard treatment for large kidney stones.

PCNL is commonly recommended for:
  • Stones larger than 2 cm
  • Staghorn calculi
  • Multiple kidney stones
  • Hard stones resistant to other treatments
  • Failed previous stone procedures
Benefits of PCNL
  1. High stone clearance rates
  2. Effective for large stones
  3. Minimally invasive approach
  4. Shorter recovery compared to open surgery
  5. Reduced need for multiple procedures
  6. Improved kidney drainage

Flexible URS (RIRS)

What is Flexible URS / RIRS?

Flexible Ureteroscopy (Flexible URS) or Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) is an advanced endoscopic procedure used to treat kidney stones without any incision.

A flexible scope is passed through the natural urinary passage into the kidney. A laser fiber is then used to break stones into tiny fragments, which either pass naturally or are removed during the procedure.

RIRS is particularly useful for stones located in difficult-to-access areas of the kidney.

Benefits of Flexible URS (RIRS)
  1. No external incision
  2. Minimally invasive procedure
  3. Precise laser stone fragmentation
  4. Less postoperative pain
  5. Faster recovery
  6. Excellent cosmetic outcomes
  7. Suitable for selected kidney stones

How are PCNL and Flexible URS Performed?

Step 1: Evaluation
Detailed imaging such as CT scan and ultrasound helps determine stone size and location.

Step 2: Anesthesia
The procedure is performed under general or spinal anesthesia.

Step 3: Stone Treatment

  • PCNL: Stones are accessed through a small incision and removed.
  • Flexible URS (RIRS): Stones are fragmented using laser technology through a flexible scope.

Step 4: Drainage Support
Temporary stents or tubes may be placed when required.

Step 5: Recovery
Patients are monitored closely before discharge.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ'S)

Flexible Ureteroscopy (Flexible URS) or Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) is a laser-assisted procedure where a flexible scope is passed through the urinary tract to locate and break kidney stones without any external incision.

Both procedures are performed under anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort during surgery.

Most patients achieve complete stone clearance in a single procedure, although multiple sessions may occasionally be required for very large stone burdens.

 

The choice depends on stone size, location, number, and complexity. Large stones are usually treated with PCNL, while smaller or difficult-to-access stones may be treated with Flexible URS (RIRS).

PCNL generally costs between ₹80,000 and ₹2,50,000, depending on stone complexity, hospital stay, and surgical requirements.
