What is the recovery time for Ultrasonic lithotripsy surgery?

Ultrasonic lithotripsy surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to break up and remove kidney stones. The recovery time for this surgery typically takes a few weeks, but it can vary from person to person.

Immediately after surgery, you may experience some pain, discomfort, and swelling in the area where the surgery was performed. You may also have some pain or discomfort when you urinate, and you may notice that your urine is cloudy or contains small pieces of stone fragments. These are all normal side effects that should resolve within a few days or weeks.

Most people are able to go home from the hospital the same day or the day after their surgery. However, if you have a large kidney stone or if you have other health conditions, you may need to stay in the hospital for a longer period of time.

After you go home, you will need to take it easy and avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks. You should also follow your doctor's instructions for care, such as drinking plenty of fluids and taking medication to relieve pain and prevent infection.

Most people are able to make a full recovery from ultrasonic lithotripsy surgery and return to their normal activities within a few weeks. However, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully to ensure a safe and successful recovery.
