The recovery time of laser lithotripsy for kidney stones varies according to the method of lithotripsy, ranging from 1 to 2 days to 4 weeks after surgery. For kidney stones, the commonly used surgical treatments are extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, ureteroscopy lithotripsy, and so on. Extracorporeal lithotripsy does not require hospitalization, and you can leave the hospital and go home after half an hour of observation and quick recovery. Ureteroscopic lithotripsy can be observed for 1-2 days, no special discomfort can be discharged from the hospital, 2-4 weeks after the operation to return to the hospital to remove the ureteral stent tube. Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy can be observed for 3-5 days, no special discomfort can be discharged from the hospital, and return to the hospital 2-4 weeks after the operation to remove the ureteral stent tube. In order to promote postoperative recovery, kidney stone patients should get out of bed and move around appropriately when their condition permits, and they should also drink more water. It is recommended that patients after laser lithotripsy of kidney stones should adjust their mindset and actively cooperate with doctors to carry out relevant postoperative treatment and care.
