A member asked:

My brother 28yrs has gall bladder stone 15.5mm and urinary bladder stone 30.7mm. can we go for laparoscopic surgery for both and on the same day?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gallstones are : amebasketinnable to laparoscopic intervention. Kidney stones are usually paases or removed by " basketing" using catheterization, lithotripsy or in rare cases open nephrotomy ( very rare). Please consult both a general surgery and a urologist. Probably safer not to do both operations at the same time.
