Renal stones
by: SAPIAN on Wed, Jan 27 2010

I spent two weeks in hospital to remove my kidney stones The larger stone was 1.2cm; the smaller one was 0.8cm.Lithotripsy were done 8 times but the stones did not break.I was scheduled for kidney operation finally. This would involve invasive surgery on my right kidney.Fortunately the hospital was equipped just-in-time with “laser” which saved me from the worries of the PCNL ie the invasive surgery.Thank God for the latest technology.
