The PCNL procedure typically takes 2-4 hours, depending on the size and location of the kidney stone.

Most patients do not experience significant pain during the PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) procedure itself because they are given anaesthesia to numb the area and put to sleep with general anaesthesia. However, after the procedure, some patients may experience mild to moderate discomfort, such as pain or soreness in the lower back or abdomen and burning during urination. As your urologist recommends, these symptoms usually improve within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
