    PCNL surgery cost in Hyderabad depends mainly on stone size, number of stones, stone location, laser or lithotripsy technology, anesthesia, stent or tube use, hospital stay, and room category.

    What is this procedure?

    PCNL is a minimally invasive surgery for large or complex kidney stones. A small opening is made in the back so the urologist can reach the kidney, break the stone, and remove fragments.

    Approximate Cost in Hyderabad

    Simple PCNL for single large stone: approx. Rs. 70,000 - Rs. 1,50,000

    Complex PCNL or multiple stones: approx. Rs. 1,20,000 - Rs. 2,00,000

    PCNL with laser lithotripsy: approx. Rs. 1,80,000 - Rs. 2,50,000

    Complicated cases needing extended care: approx. Rs. 2,50,000 - Rs. 4,00,000 or more

    These are approximate educational ranges only. Final cost depends on stone size, infection status, stent/tube use, room category, medicines, consumables, and insurance terms.
