The duration for which a nephrostomy tube should remain in place after kidney stone removal can vary based on individual circumstances, but it typically stays in for a few days to a week. The tube may be removed once the kidney is functioning well and there is no obstruction or significant urine leakage. Regular follow-up with the healthcare provider is essential to determine the appropriate timing for removal. Always follow the specific recommendations of the treating physician.

When the stone sits in the kidney, it rarely causes problems, but should it fall into the ureter, it acts like a dam. The kidney continues to function and make urine, which backs up behind the stone, stretching the kidney. This pressure build up causes the pain of a kidney stone, but it also helps push the stone along the course of the ureter. When the stone enters the bladder, the obstruction in the ureter is relieved and the symptoms, and pain, of a kidney stone are resolved.
