A member asked:
I'm wondering what reasons would have the doctors keep a patient in overnight after a percutaneous nephrolithotomy surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nephrolithotomy: To keep you from bleeding to death would be one. to see if pee comes out of the entrance site would be another. Ask your team in your case.
