I'm having a urteroscope surgey to remove kidney stones in 5 days and i just got a tattoo. is that ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Okay...: Clinically, the tattoo of >5-7 days should not be affected by performing ureteroscopic stone procedures. If still concerning, ask your urologist or simply postpone the procedures for 1-2 weeks since most cases of kidney stone removal are not emergent, even most of ureteral stones of < 5-10 mm may just be watched for a while. Of course, work with your doc for most reasonable care.
