The treatment plan for kidney stones at this stage is to be completed according to the size of the stones and the condition of hydronephrosis. However, at this stage, kidney stones are mainly treated by minimally invasive surgery, such as percutaneous nephroscopy. Then, if the patient does not recover smoothly and stays in bed for a long time, it may cause hypostatic pneumonia. At this time, it may show pulmonary effusion, which is what we normally call pleural effusion. This, Personally, I don't think it has much to do with surgery. It may be the patient's recovery.
