It is often observed these days that the patients are developing the kidney stone of a ping pong ball size or even 1 kg. This can be really challenging for surgeons to remove such a large stone without serious complications arising due to operational procedures. Although, there are more sophisticated technologies available to detect a minimal size kidney stones, how the patients can develop such large stones without being noticed. How can the associated pain be tolerated by patients to this extent of time?
is there a need to rethink the criteria used for screening? Why do patients neglect such a large kidney stone without thinking to treat it early? Please give your recommendations to screen a patient for kidney stones development?
