If they recover well, they can be discharged from hospital about 1 week after surgery. If flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy is performed, they can be discharged 3~4 days after surgery. In short, the length of hospitalization should be determined according to the specific conditions and conditions. It is recommended to listen to the doctor's arrangements. After renal lithotripsy, if there is a double-J tube left in the affected ureter to support the ureter, to prevent ureteral stricture during the reduction process, 3-4 weeks after surgery, the patient needs to see a doctor to remove the double-J tube.
