Surgery for kidney stones in the shape of antlers is generally a larger operation. At present, in clinical practice, there are two common ways of kidney stone surgery: minimally invasive surgery and open surgery, and open surgery for kidney stones belongs to the category of relatively larger surgeries. Minimally invasive surgery, such as percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, is less invasive than open surgery, but still carries certain risks. Antler-shaped kidney stones usually have a relatively large diameter, and the treatment process is more complicated. If minimally invasive surgery is used, it may be difficult to remove the stone completely, and another operation is needed, and there are risks of bleeding and infection in both open and minimally invasive surgeries. Of course, there are certain risks in any surgery, but nowadays, the medical level has made great progress compared with the past, and the risk of surgery is also decreasing. If you have kidney stones, it is recommended to consult a regular hospital in time to seek professional treatment.
