Hi all I had lithotripsy2 weeks ago wendesday and the dr was able to break up all the stones in my kidney. I had a 10 mm stone in my renal pelvis multiple stones in the lower portion of the kidney largest of which was 6mm and 3 stones in the ureter largest measuring 4 mm. I had a stent in for a week and in that time passed maybe 5 or 6 tiny little pieces since the stent was removed Ive counted just 1 tiny piece passed. My first lithotripsy i had only one large stone and passed a considerable amount more. Dr has ordered an x-ray in about another week so I'll find out whats going on but I was wondering if anyone here has had experience with NOT passing all the fragments following lithotripsy and if that sounds like what is going on here? I was also wondering if anyone had a delay in passing the fragments without needing another procedure. Ive strained at least 90% of the time so its possible i passed more then but I'm pretty vigilant about looking for fragments so I don't *think* thats the case. Thanks

I've never had that procedure for any of my stones so I don't have any first hand knowledge to tell you. Hope someone else in here can . You sure had some big stones before the procedure though. Good Luck and I wish you all the best.
