A member asked:

Kidney stent procedure - how long is the average hospital stay for a kidney stent implant?how long do you need to stay out of work?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies: If you have not had a lot of complications and the stent procedure is elective, you may not even need to stay in the hospital. It is not uncommon to stay a day though. You can usually work right away, but it depends on whether you develop any pain, which will vary person to person.
