Is It Painful To Have A Stent Removed From A Kidney That Was Placed During Removal Of Stones?
Is it painful to have a stent removed from a kidney. Is this a common office procedure and do they typically administer pain meds or something to ease the pain. I have been scoped before and I dread the removal of the stent that was placed in my kidney after the removal of several stones.

HI
Thanks for your query
Removal of stent is done under a suitable anesthesia (usually a short general anesthesia) and the procedure itself is then quite short and painless.
There might be a mild post operative discomfort.
Hope this helps
Good luck
