Q: percutaneous nephrolithotomy
asked by: lawrencetowngal on June 27th, 2008

After x-rays, CT scan, blood work, blah blah blah, I've been diagnosed with 3 stones. All three are still in my kidney because the 20mm keeps bouncing in and out of the ureter opening.

I'm waiting for a surgery date. Has anybody undergone percutaneous nephrolithotomy? How long did the surgery take? How long were you in hospital?

Any information would be helpful. Thanks.

My surgery date is Monday. The doctor says it'll be a day surgery. I'm surprised, as what I have read online, it usually involves at least an overnight stay.
