156 kidney stones removed from a patient

Hyderabad: Urologists at Preeti Urology and Kidney Hospital, KPHB, Kukatpally have removed 156 kidney stones by taking up a laparoscopy or keyhole surgery from a 50-year-old patient Basavraj Madiwalar, a school teacher from Hubli, Karnataka.

The patient was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain and tests revealed the presence of a large cluster of renal stones. He also had ectopic kidney and was located near the abdomen instead of its normal position in the urinary tract, which posed challenges for the surgeons while removing the renal stones.

Dr. V Chandra Mohan, Urologist and MD, Preeti Urology and Kidney Hospital, said, “the patient might have been developing these stones for more than two years, but never had any symptoms. After assessing his health condition, we decided to take laparoscopy and endoscopy route to extract the stones, instead of resorting to a major surgery.”

With planning and proper preparation, the stones were fully extracted with a procedure that lasted for three hours. Instead of a major cut on the body, a simple keyhole opening helped extract the stones fully. “The patient is hale and healthy now, and has returned to his regular daily routine,” added Dr. Chandra Mohan.
