Mini-Perc PCNL — a refined, smaller-tract kidney stone surgery with less bleeding, less pain, and faster healing. Advanced minimally invasive urology at Unittas Hospital.
Mini-Perc PCNL (Miniature Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) is an advanced, minimally invasive technique to remove kidney stones using smaller instruments and a narrower tract (typically 14–20 French) compared to standard PCNL. This refinement makes the procedure less traumatic while maintaining high success rates for larger or complex stones — less bleeding, less pain, and quicker healing.
Procedure typically lasts 1–3 hours depending on stone size and complexity.
Reduced BleedingSmaller tract significantly lowers blood loss and transfusion needs.
Less PainMinimised tissue trauma results in milder post-operative discomfort.
Shorter Hospital StayOften discharged within 1 day.
Comparable EffectivenessHigh stone-free rates similar to standard PCNL for appropriate cases.
We offer transparent, affordable pricing with no hidden charges. Costs include the procedure, anaesthesia, and standard care.
