A member asked:

How can i pass stone fragments after lithotripsy if the stent is in place? i watched a urologist say that stone fragments will not pass with the stent. i have an appointment 18 days after lithotripsy for a follow up to see if 16 mm stone was broken?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Your urologist will be able to monitor your progress. If the stone was fragmented enough, you should be able to pass the stone. The stent will act as a guide if you need to have a stone extraction.
