Stone removal is a surgical procedure performed to remove the stones appearing in the kidney. The type of surgery and the technique used vary depending upon the nature of the stone, mainly its size. Once a stone is diagnosed via blood, imaging and urine testing, the doctors may put you on a few medications and ask you to drink ample water. Stone removal surgery is opted for only after medications prove ineffective. Several minimally invasive surgery options, like ureteroscopy, HoLEP, etc., can give the patient effective results without an incision. The patient can opt for surgeries like this after consultation with their doctor. While you can cure most kidney stones with proper hydration, one may need surgery if the pain becomes unbearable. A stone removal surgery has the potential risk of infection and bleeding. Some minimally invasive surgeries may be a 30-minute procedure, and the recovery period may also be lesser than conventional surgeries.
