Patient's question:
In January, percutaneous nephrolithotomy was performed to remove a 2310mm left ureteral calculus, which was identified as a monohydrate calcium oxalate stone and a dihydrate calcium oxalate stone. Postoperative ultrasound revealed 1-2mm small crystals in both kidneys. (Note: 4 years ago, a bilateral ureteral open surgery was performed to remove a 157mm calculus - which was misleadingly recommended by the doctor at the time. Later, it was learned that extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy or minimally invasive surgery could also be options.)Doctor's answer:
Hello calcium oxalate stone, the main treatment is to take stone-passing granules, and regularly review. If it continues to grow, consider undergoing extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.
