As a Urologist, i can understand your concern. A 9 mm stone has been fragmented to a 5 mm and 2-3 pieces of 3 mm. Its good the stent is removed. Only the 5 mm stone needs clearance. At a good center, a lithographyESL is enough, to fragment it completely. The smaller stones will flush out, with fluid intake of about 3 litersday. Also take potassium magnesium citrate tablets, twice daily, for dissolution. If youve any doubts, send the reports to me, as a direct question. Chat Doctor. Manga.
