Probably not: Good news! usually patients go home the day of stone surgery. Stones can be broken up in several ways: extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (eswl) - focused energy from the outside of your body. Endoscopically - through a camera with the help of a laser. Percutaneous approach - for large stones in the kidney open/laparoscopic surgery - rarely used, typically when all other methods fail.
