A member asked:
Why do i keep getting kidney infections and uti's??? i have had a nurphrostomy tube and a phois hitch and have had 6 stent placement surgeries? wow

Need more history: U must have a complex problem if nephrostomy tube & 6 stents were required. U will always be at risk 4 kidney infections with stent in place. Psoas hitch means that ureter was reimplanted & too short without hitch. Would consider 2nd opinion from a different urology practice. U have not been "fixed" & possibly have ureteral stricture, if U still require stent. My sympathies & good luck.
