Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
It is less likely for any swelling of kidney (hydronephrosis) or gall stones to be missed on ultrasound scan. They can be missed on X ray though. If the pain was sharp and for 10 minutes and surgical opinion shows no significant problems then there is no need to worry. If the pain appears again on another occasion then a CT scan abdomen and pelvis can be done.
Hope this helps
