PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) Introduction

PCNL is a minimally invasive procedure to remove large or complex kidney stones through a small incision in the back. A nephroscope is inserted directly into the kidney to locate and remove stones. This procedure reduces the need for open surgery and allows faster recovery for patients.

Sterile Field Management – Role of Drapes and Disposables in PCNL

Maintaining sterility is critical in PCNL to prevent urinary tract or surgical site infections. Nivda Urology Drapes and Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Drapes provide fluid-resistant coverage with fenestrated access for the nephroscope and irrigation tools. These drapes include adhesive borders and fluid-collection pouches to isolate the surgical area and protect both patient and staff. Sterile surgical gowns, gloves, and face masks ensure a contamination-free environment. Back table covers, instrument wrapping sheets, and absorbent floor mats organize the workspace and control fluids. Together, Nivda drapes and disposables enable a safe, efficient, and precise procedure from incision to stone removal.
