Laparoscopic Kidney Stone Extraction (Pyelolithotomy)

This patient grew an impressive amount of kidney stones, due to long-standing obstruction of drainage from the kidney (ureteropelvic junction obstruction). This video shows opening of the renal pelvis and removal of over 50 kidney stones, including a large "Jackstone."

If you want to avoid this: more h2o, less chocolate

@evilchucky13 There is no way anatomically that you would get to pee it out. If by some miracle it traveled through the ureter, it would just get stuck in the bladder.

That "jackstone" is the scariest damn thing I've ever seen

Very skilled doctor, he got all of them out! Brilliant, this was so cool to see!

But God Bless the person who had that many stones, yikes . . .

That's how my kidneys show on MRIs and IVPs. They've slowly been passing though and most are small enough that they don't hurt very much. Good news is they're not returning so I'm praying as I'd rather slide down a 50-foot razor blade and land in a pool of iodine. Yes, they hurt that much.
