Hi @caont10,

The procedure is called percutaneous nephrolithotomy, which involves surgically removing a kidney stone using small telescopes and instruments inserted through a small incision in your back. you can read more details here:

I'm also tagging other members who have had experience with kidney stones to share here: @trishanna @ella2000 @gman007 @jmaclachlan1 and @rosemary.
