A member asked:

I still have a little pain on my left side after kidney stone surgery and stent removable?

Probably normal: It is very common to have some flank pain after removing a stent. You should be evaluated for a urinary tract infection since you were instrumented. In addition you may have some stone fragments still present. You shoud see your urologist for a follow up.

Very common: Mild edema, or swelling, in the ureter is common after this surgery. This tends to subside soon. Hydrate well and see how you feel. Keep in touch with your urologist if the pain does sot subside.
