A member asked:

How long should stent stay in kidney for kidney stones?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Until the stones: Are gone, and any narrowing or blockage of urine is gone. It is difficult to say because everyone responds differently to stones and the degree of blockage and narrowing will also.
