Surgery to remove more than 100 kidney stones from a patient in Gia Lai

Accordingly, on April 21, Mr. NVC (71 years old, residing in Chu Pah district, Gia Lai) was hospitalized with pain in both sides of the lower back that had lasted for nearly a year.

CT scan and X-ray results showed that his right kidney was large (163x80mm), grade II-III hydronephrosis, containing many stones forming a cluster, measuring 26x56 mm, including a large stone at the renal pelvis-ureter junction measuring 31x32 mm. In particular, the patient had a lesion occupying the middle third of the right kidney, suspected to be a kidney tumor.

After consultation, the doctors decided to perform laparoscopic nephrectomy and kidney stone removal for this man. It was determined that this was a rather complicated surgery due to the large number of stones, many of which were large in size and had a kidney tumor attached, so it required high precision.

After more than 2 hours of surgery, more than 100 stones were removed from Mr. NVC's right kidney. Currently, Mr. C's health is stable, alert, and all indicators are within normal limits.
