Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
Why did doctors not advise PCNL.Why dangerous? It's a routine procedure.
The other treatment option is a flexible URS with laser lithotripsy.
That's a routine procedure for all Urologists and done under spinal anesthesia.
You're disharged in 24 hours. You can resume work in 2 days.
If you've any doubts,send the reports to me,as a direct question.
