There is no clinical study to show how long it takes to recover after kidney stone lithotripsy surgery, the recovery time after kidney stone lithotripsy surgery needs to be judged according to the surgical method of lithotripsy and the patient’s postoperative recovery. If the patient’s kidney stone is relatively small, taking extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy surgical treatment, generally faster recovery, about 1 week after the operation can be recovered.
For patients who take ureteral flexible mirror or ureteral rigid mirror for lithotripsy, they can usually recover 1 week after the operation. If the patient’s kidney stone diameter is larger, and need to take percutaneous nephrolithotomy to remove the stone out of the body, it will take at least half a month to recover, and will need to be postponed if the wound becomes infected.
It is recommended that patients need to consult a doctor for examination after kidney stone fragmentation, and the doctor will judge the specific recovery time according to the recovery of the body. After the operation, patients should rest more, drink more water, urinate more, and follow the doctor’s instructions to recover.
