Brief Answer: The operation is a major surgery, but routinely pe Detailed Answer: Hi again, The operation is a major procedure if it is indeed a staghorn stone, and involves a risk of bleeding and therefore we do not leave it to fresh graduates out of college. There is usually a stay involved of 2-3 days, and the initial couple of days might be painful, especially as you are likely to have a tube hanging out of the back to drain the blood and urine away from the affected kidney. You should take rest from heavy exertion for at least a couple of weeks and start your normal activities once your urine is clear, and your doctor deems it safe. I am not aware of how good or bad is the hospital you have mentioned, as I am from Hyderabad in the South. Therefore, I leave it to your judgement as to where you have to get the surgery performed. One of the best persons in India for this kind of surgery is Dr. XXXXXXX Ahlawat from Delhi. You can find out from other doctors where he is practicing in Delhi, and get his opinion as to which is the ideal center for you, and how critical is the procedure in your case. Glad to have been of help.
