This work studied per cutaneous (keyhole) kidney stone surgery of the kidney, and the effects of lithotripsy (non invasive stone fragmentation) on the kidney. These include the minimally invasive treatment of urinary stones, lithotripsy, treatment of cancer of the kidney, prostate, bladder and testis, microscopic vasectomy reversal, endoscopic prostate surgery and robotic techniques. The prostate surrounds the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body. Keyhole surgery is telescopic surgery within the kidney, mostly for kidney stones and only very occasionally for obstruction to kidney drainage, and even more rarely, for tumors of the kidney. Prostate cancer is a disease which only affects men. Sometimes patients pass their kidney stone earlier having lithotripsy.

Occasionally the broken stones may cause pain as they pass down the urinary system. A nurse will take your blood pressure regularly. Frequency (going more than 6 times a day).

A catheter is placed to unload the urinary system through the bladder and a nephrostomy tube is usually removed while the tolerant is calm in the hospital but may be left in after the patient is discharged. The tolerant is given fluids intravenously for one to two days after surgery. PCNL has a tall rate of triumph for stone removal, over 98 for stones that remain in the kidney and 88 for stones that pass into the ureter. It is imperative to avoid sexual activity for at minimum four weeks as this may cause pain and bleeding. Certain medications may need to be withheld a week or more earlier to surgery you will be advised of these by your surgeon or our urology nurse consultant.
