View allI had kidney stone surgery and now the doctor needs to remove the stent from my kidney I'm a bit nervous about how much it will hurt can you tell me what to expect during the procedure
Pain is minimal nothing to worry ok .Analgesics like tablet aceclofenac perorally twice daily for 5-7 days is advised to the patient.

What size of kidney stone can be removed without surgery if there are stones in both the left and right kidney? I'm really anxious about whether it's possible to deal with them without an operation.
Renal caliculi of size less than 7mm needs no surgical intervention for few pts it can be upto 9mm also but it is more than that and causing obstruction,that needs to be removed.
