Yashoda Hospitals offers advanced mini PCNL procedures for patients with personalized care and cutting-edge techniques.
Mini-PERC, or mini-PCNL, is a minimally invasive surgical technique that is useful in removing kidney stones and has more advantages than conventional open surgery. Some of these benefits include the use of a smaller incision, less blood loss, a faster recovery period, and reduced postoperative pains. This Mini-PERC intervention is very useful in the management of large kidney stones, complicated kidney stones, and even in multiple kidney stone cases. This, however, means that only certain types of kidney stones can be treated through Mini PERC, as some are too large, located in places that are difficult to access, or too complicated. It is not the age of the patient that determines the appropriateness of the treatment, but rather how big, how complicated, and how situated the kidney stone is. Mini PCNL, or Mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy, as the word suggests, is usually done by urologists who are specialists in the management of conditions affecting the urinary tract, including kidney stones.
Mini PERC indications include treating large kidney stones (> 2 cm), complex kidney stones (stag horn, difficult location), and multiple kidney stones.

Mini PCNL is not painful surgery for the management of kidney stones as it involves a smaller incision and causes less postoperative pain, thereby harming minimal or no surrounding tissues. The size and intricacy of the kidney stone may, however, affect the pain levels, where big or complicated stones may be more pain-provoking after the operation.
The use of Mini PCNL reduces the trauma, blood loss, post-operative pain, and recovery time, particularly in large, complex stag-horn-shaped kidney stones. For this reason, it also decreases the risk of bleeding and the time taken for procedures.
Mini PCNL is a risk-free, successful approach for kidney stone management due to its minimally invasive characteristics, successful outcomes, and the skill of the urologist. Its smaller incisions, less tissue trauma, and shorter process duration minimize the chances of bleeding, infections, damage to organs, and risks associated with general anesthesia.
No, mini-PCNL is a minimally invasive surgery for treating kidney stones, using a smaller incision and specialized instruments, resulting in less tissue damage, shorter procedure time, faster recovery, and reduced pain.
Mini-PCNL (mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy) surgery typically takes 1 to 3 hours, depending on factors like stone size and complexity, number of stones, surgical experience, and unforeseen complications. Larger or more complex stones may require more time to remove, while multiple stones may take longer. Surgical experience also affects the procedure’s efficiency. Unforeseen complications may require additional time to address.
