Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
After a PCNL removal of stone,a tube is placed in the kidney region.
If you're referring to that,it's urine leaking around a nephrostomy site tube.'
That's normal if it's minimal.If he had an URS lithotripsy,then it's abnormal.
Normally,there's no weeping over the kidney region after an URS treatment.
You've should see your Urologist and find out reasons for the same.
Drink about 3 liters fluids daily.
If you've any doubts,send the reports to me,as a direct question.
