37 Kidney Stones Removed in Landmark Surgery
22 Aug
Summary
- Doctors successfully removed 37 large kidney stones in a single procedure.
- Patient battled renal failure and sepsis before the complex surgery.
- The procedure involved opening the kidney to extract and repair the organ.
A complex surgery at Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital has resulted in the successful removal of 37 kidney stones from a single organ. The patient, a 40-year-old man from Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, had been suffering from severe sepsis and renal failure due to unusually large stones in both kidneys, measuring up to 6 cm.
He required intensive care, including ventilator support and dialysis, before the surgical team could proceed. The procedure, an anatrophic pyelolithotomy, involved carefully opening the left kidney to extract all 37 stones and then repairing the organ. This challenging technique was performed by a specialized urology team.
The patient remains under close observation as doctors evaluate the condition of his other kidney to determine the next steps in his treatment plan.
