Procedure for removing kidney stones

Posted by maallen1943 @maallen1943, Aug 1, 2011

My husband had a very bad time after a procedure to remove a kidmey stone, where they inserted a long tube through his back, into the kidney, to zap the stone.

Now he has another stone, and must have the same procedure again. His anyone heard of an alternative to this prcedure?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Kidney & Bladder Support Group.

Dr Husmann did the surgery, wonderful man. Where will your surgery be, if you don't have a big support group up there, I will be in Rochester on the 25th and would be happy to stop and see you.
