Depends on the exact location of the stone. I had a large stone growing, and attached about midway down in my left ureter. The urologists at the VA Hospital in Houston put me through various operations attempting to remove the stone. They went in through my penis and tried to "Jab" it loose and was unsuccessful, then they tried to use high power ultrasound to break it up and was unsuccessful, then they went in through my back with open surgery and through my kidney and into the ureter and manually extracted the stone. I don't know the exact method that would be best for you, but a lot if pain was involved. Local anesthetics were used because I had to be awake while the surgery was being done. This was a very large calcium stone.

In Canada no! Your medical history is under the protection act. All your doctor has to do is send them a letter stating you have a kidney stone or have passed a kidney stone and will either not or will have surgery. If your employers keep hounding you then report them to Workers Comp., or Labor Relations. Also a lawyer if needed. Generally the company will back off.

Kidney stones come in all sizes and shapes, sometimes they pass in a few days or hours and sometimes they require surgery. Urology doctors today are the best way to determine where your stone is and whatprocedure is needed to save the kidney from damage.
