Percutaneous nephrolithotomy requires about half a month to two months of recovery time, which is related to whether there is postoperative bleeding or not, and whether there are stones left behind. 1. Related to whether bleeding after the operation: the operation needs to keep the fistula tube in the body, in order to observe the kidney condition after the operation, if the kidney bleeds after the operation, the fistula tube needs to be clamped to stop bleeding. If the individual recovers well, there is no obvious bleeding from the kidneys, and no stones are found to remain after examination, the fistula tube can be removed in about a week or so. However, it may take another half month to one month to return to normal working condition. 2. Related to the presence of stone residue: according to the size and number of stones, percutaneous nephrolithotomy can be completed in several stages. If no stones are found after stage I surgery, gradual recovery is usually possible in half a month to one month. However, if residual stones are found after stage I surgery, stage II surgery is needed if necessary, and its recovery time is relatively longer and may take 1-2 months. After percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, we need to do a good job of nursing, regularly observe the status of the fistula tube, check whether there is bleeding, if bleeding is found, we need to contact the physician in time, and carry out targeted treatment as soon as possible.
