Hematuria after kidney stone surgery

Kidney stone surgery is a surgical treatment method performed to remove stones from the kidney. Using surgery to treat kidney stones is faster and more thorough, but there are also certain problems. For example, many people find that they have hematuria after surgery, so they need to be treated again. Of course, patients also need to do a good job of nursing in daily life. Below we will introduce you to the relevant knowledge about kidney stone treatment in detail.

1. Drug treatment

Drug treatment is generally suitable for patients with hepatobiliary stones smaller than 0.3 cm and without chronic inflammation. However, most patients with stones are accompanied by infection, which aggravates obstruction, so drugs can often only improve symptoms but cannot actually expel the stones. At the same time, during the process of drug stone removal, when the stone diameter is large, if drug stone removal is directly used, it will cause the stone to be embedded in the gallbladder neck, cystic duct and bile duct. Not only will the stone not be discharged, but it will aggravate the patient's pain and cause serious complications.

2. Surgical treatment

Traditional surgical treatment means that it will inevitably bring trauma. Traditional surgical stone removal requires large incisions, causes great damage, has a high recurrence rate, is very dangerous, and takes a long time to recover. It is not suitable for patients with multiple stones or chronic inflammation. Surgery causes relatively severe damage to the patient's body, especially for some patients with good renal function. The scars formed at the surgical incision site are a good breeding ground for stone recurrence. Some suture threads left during the operation also become an excellent base for stone formation. Moreover, surgical scars will be left on the body surface for life.

3. Non-surgical treatment

Patients have suffered all kinds of torture. Some have undergone more than one surgery, some have received long-term drug treatment, and some patients have lost confidence in treatment due to the recurrence of stones after trying multiple treatments. Therefore, finding a painless, highly effective, and non-recurring treatment method is the key to treating kidney stones. It can not only reduce the patient's physical pain and economic burden, but also effectively eliminate the complications and sequelae caused by kidney stones, so that the treatment can avoid detours and achieve twice the result with half the effort.
