Had emergency kidney stone surgery last Thursday and still have the urethra stent in. I've called the urologist's office multiple times but keep getting the runaround it's been five days now and I'm really worried. What should I do about getting the stent removed?
It's understandable that you're concerned about the ureteral stent after your emergency kidney stone surgery. After five days, it's important to clarify your situation and get the stent removed. If you haven't been given specific instructions about removing it yourself (with a string attached), you should contact your urologist again and request a removal appointment
