Hi Fayyaz
What country are you in . I don't know how they would get your stone out only with Lithitropsy. I had keyhole surgery my stone was 25mm in lower left kidney. They put a drain in my back it was fine I was in hospital 2 days had it done 5th April I'm resting now no stent . I thought they only did keyhole if stone bigger than 20mm . Do keep us updated .Lesley x

I've had many stones removed. Some thru litho but a lot thru cystoscope where they go up ureter and blast the stone in small pieces. They insert a Sent for easy passage. Usually go home same day. The stents can be uncomfortable but usually don't have them but just a few days.
