Why Nephrolithotomy / Kidney Stone Removal Is Needed
This procedure is recommended when kidney stones are too large to pass naturally or be broken down effectively with ESWL, are causing persistent obstruction, infection, or significant pain, or are located in a position that makes less invasive treatments ineffective. It is also chosen when a patient has a single functioning kidney and stone removal needs to be handled with particular care.
