In a one of its kind case, doctors at a Delhi hospital removed 856 from the kidney of a 45-year-old patient, highest number of kidney stones reported in Northern India till date. The surgery, which involved a Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (keyhole surgery for renal stone), was performed to remove all the stones between the left kidney and urinary tract/pelvis.
Munesh Kumar Gupta had reported at the hospital with problems of blood in the urine. While there were no other signs of kidney stones, he was in a lot of unease. He went through an ultrasound, which revealed two large kidney stones. However, during surgery, 856 stones were extracted out from his kidney.
"There were no visible symptoms of kidney stones, except for the fact, he started passing blood in urine only two days prior to the operation. The ultrasound showed the presence of two stones, which were roughly 33 millimeters each in size. As the surgery progressed, 856 stones were found in the left kidney and urinary tract. The surgery was done using minimally invasive techniques, which resulted in less pain and loss of blood and lasted for over two hours," said Dr Rajinder Yadav, Director, Department of Urology and Kidney and Transplant.
Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys, which makes the urine concentrated, allowing minerals to crystallize and stick together. Drinking plenty of fluids reduces the risk of stones. Common symptoms of kidney stones include a persistent ache in the lower back, pain in the groin, acute pain in the back or side of the abdomen, pain during urination, blood in urine, persistent need to urinate and pain that comes in waves and fluctuates in intensity.
"We have dealt with over 6,000 cases when it comes to employing minimally invasive techniques to remove kidney stones. Dr. Yadav has even removed a stone which was 8 cm by 9 cm in size. However, this case was challenging because of the humungous number of stones. Yet they were able to successfully treat the patient," Mr Mahipal Singh Bhanot, Facility Director, Fortis Hospital.
