Recently, the first percutaneous nephrolithotomy was successfully performed at Clínica Girona, a highly complex surgical procedure aimed at treating large kidney stones.
This technique, performed under general anaesthetic, allows direct access to the kidney through an external puncture, followed by the fragmentation and extraction of calculi with the aid of an endoscope and laser technology.
The operation was carried out by Dr. Montserrat Arzoz, an urologist with extensive experience and recognition in the field of kidney stones. With this addition, Clínica Girona expands its services by offering comprehensive endoscopic treatment for urinary tract stones.
