UK private consultant /hospital recommendations for PCNL
Looking for recommendations for a private urologist in London who does a high volume of PCNL and FURS for kidney stones, someone who handles complex cases day in, day out rather than the odd one, and whose main focus is stones rather than mostly prostate work.
For context, I’ve got a 2 cm, 1800 HU partial staghorn, likely calcium oxalate, plus a few smaller stones spread across multiple mid and lower calyces, so I’m after someone genuinely experienced with this kind of stone burden.
Currently no obstruction, dmsa is good, no pain, swollen kidney or fever (although ever since I found out “what’s there”, I now feel some mild discomfort… typical), so the surgery is fully elective at the moment.
It will likely require a main PCNL, with FURS at the same time, and then another FURS a month or so later to mop up any leftovers. I’ll most likely have the full kidney treatment, tube after procedure for a few days, double J stent, and then a string stent after the final procedure when they remove the double J one. :s
If you’ve had a staged PCNL + FURS done privately in London, I’d really like to hear how it went and who you’d recommend. Thanks!
