Depends on surgery : I would ask your doctor that's removing the stent. It depends on the type of surgery your having. If it's a minor in office surgery then i would not be concerned. However major surgery i would be very concerned.

Question 4

are there risks to taking 324mg aspirin/day following stent surgery consecutively for 5mos? i would like to know if this is normal/safe for 65yo male

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Daily Aspirin at 325mg/day can cause gastritis and bleeding from the stomach. Many experts recommend the high dose for the first month and then 81mg daily after. The lower dose has good effectiveness and may be less likely to cause stomach bleeding. Patients with stents need daily Aspirin for life. For the first year after a stent, drugs like Plavix (clopidogrel) or Effient are essential to prevent stent clots.

Deconditioning: Any time you are seriously ill for an extended time it takes at least that much time to return to normal.

As for the cravings - your body might need some property from these two things.  It's ok to eat them in moderation.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Blocked Coronary: It depends on your risk profile and the state of health of the other coronary arteries and the degree of blood vessel collateral circulation in your heart. Only your cardiologist can advise you best on whether medical treatments are better than pre emptive surgical approaches.

Question 8

ureter was bent in half during olif surgery resulting in complete blockage. 6 months of stent placements and removal, ureter is still "bent and significantly narrowed at ortho hardware". can the continued hydrouteronephrosis be corrected surgically?

Accepted Answer

: I would think so but do not know your details.  Ask your team there.  I assume you are being seen by a Urologist.

Question 9

how do they remove a stent placed after kidney stone removal surgery?

Accepted Answer

Two ways: If the stent is left with a long "string" if intended to be short term, this can be grasped and pulled out easily. If there is no visible string, an office procedure to retrieve it with a flexible fiberoptic scope (cystoscopy) is a rapid and relatively painless method to remove the stent.

Question 10

i still have a little pain on my left side after kidney stone surgery and stent removable?

Accepted Answer

Probably normal: It is very common to have some flank pain after removing a stent.  You should be evaluated for a urinary tract infection since you were instrumented.  In addition you may have some stone fragments still present.  You shoud see your urologist for a follow up.
