A member asked:

Why is a pcnl opening not closed after surgery? how long will i leak urine from my back? it's been 3.5 days and it's still flowing heavily at times.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PCNL: Sometimes it may take up to one week before the opening closes in your back. Do you have a stent in your kidney going down to your bladder. This can expedite the closure. If the fluid output increases I would consult your urologist
