Kidney Stones – Diagnosis & Treatments

Surgery

If your treatment options are not effective, surgery might be the last resort. While this is a rare case, it is still necessary to deal with serious patients. During the procedure, a tube will be inserted to the kidney via a small incision in your back. After that, the doctor will use a laser to break up or remove the stones. You might need to spend around two to three days in the hospital for surgery. [10]
