Percutaneous Renal Procedures

Percutaneous renal procedures are minimally invasive medical techniques used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the kidneys. This typically involves using a thin, flexible tube called a catheter, which is inserted through the skin and guided to the kidney using imaging technology, like ultrasound or X-rays. These procedures can help remove kidney stones, drain abscesses, or obtain tissue samples for testing. The main advantages are reduced recovery time and less discomfort compared to traditional surgery, allowing patients to return to their normal activities more quickly while effectively addressing their kidney issues.
