What are the after-effects of kidney stone surgery?

Kidney stone surgery may have sequelae, but it is relatively rare, such as residual stones, kidney bleeding, urinary tract infection, etc., generally active treatment can be cured. 1. Stone residuals: If the kidney stones are multiple and scattered, it may lead to incomplete removal of stones after surgery, and there are still stones residuals after surgery. If the residual stones are relatively small, conservative treatments are usually carried out, such as drinking plenty of water, appropriate activities to promote stone removal, and if the residual stones are large, it may be necessary to carry out surgery to remove the stones again. 2. Kidney bleeding: kidney stone surgery may lead to kidney bleeding, including intraoperative bleeding and postoperative delayed bleeding, usually minor bleeding can be relieved on its own, while severe cases require interventional or surgical treatment, and a very small number of patients may have the possibility of kidney removal. 3. Urinary tract infection: after the operation, it is usually necessary to prevent the stent tube from draining. If the stent tube is not well taken care of or placed for a long period of time after the operation, it can cause urinary tract infection and symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, painful urination and so on, and in serious cases, infectious shock may occur. Risks of kidney stone surgery also include ureteral injury, ureteral rupture, etc. If you have kidney stones, we recommend treatment in a regular hospital, there are general risks in any surgery, but the chances of these risks are usually not large. It is recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
