Introduction
In general, after undergoing minimally invasive surgery for kidney stones, a ureteral stent needs to be placed for a period of time and later removed at the hospital once recovery is achieved. The removal process generally includes preoperative examination, the removal procedure itself, and postoperative recovery. This procedure is relatively simple, with quick recovery, but still involves some degree of trauma. It is recommended to visit a正规 medical institution and have the procedure performed under the guidance of qualified professionals.
Generally, after undergoing minimally invasive surgery for stone removal, a ureteral stent needs to be placed temporarily and later removed at the hospital once recovery is achieved. The removal process typically includes preoperative evaluation, the removal procedure itself, and postoperative recovery. The specific steps are as follows:
1. Perform preoperative examinations, usually including complete blood count, urinalysis, coagulation tests, and abdominal X-ray, to confirm whether any infection is present.
2. The patient lies flat on the operating table with legs elevated in the lithotomy position.
3. Perform disinfection of the surgical area, followed by local anesthesia.
4. Insert a cystoscope through the urethra into the bladder to locate the ureteral stent.
5. Use forceps to grasp the stent and remove it from the body along with the cystoscope.
6. After the procedure, administer traditional Chinese medicines aimed at preventing infection and promoting urination and stone expulsion to facilitate the elimination of any residual stones.
This procedure is relatively simple with rapid recovery, but still involves some degree of trauma. If necessary, it is recommended to visit a qualified medical institution and undergo the procedure under the guidance of healthcare professionals.
