Laser kidney stone surgery pain

Laser lithotripsy is performed under general anesthesia, so there is no pain during the procedure. Laser lithotripsy can be divided into transurethral flexible ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy and percutaneous nephroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy. Both are performed under anesthesia, so there is no need to worry about pain during the procedure. After the surgery, the urinary catheter will be retained, so it is likely to show slight discomfort, generally within the acceptable range. In this case, painkillers are not required. If the patient shows obvious discomfort or severe pain after the surgery, it is recommended that the patient can be reviewed in time. In addition, after the surgery, be sure to pay attention to drinking a lot of water and passing stones as soon as possible.
