Percutaneous nephrolithotomy
A kidney stone surgery often considered for larger or complex kidney stones.
What patients are usually trying to decide
Patients may be trying to decide whether pain, imaging, repeated stones, or a renal mass needs urgent or scheduled care.
A urologist may review imaging, kidney function, stone history, obstruction, infection risk, mass size, and procedure options.
