Hello
Thanks for query .

You had been detected to have stone of a size of 188 mm in your Rt kidney and was operated to remove it mostly by a procedure called Per Cutaneous Lithotripsy (PCNL)

The post operative Scan has revealed minimal fullness of P.C system with gravel in middle calyx.

The fullness of P.C system is likely to be due to small fragment of the stone blocking at PUJ level .Do not worry this will get resolved once all the gravel and stone fragments are passed down into bladder .

Ensure to drink more water .To keep your urine dilute.This will help gravel to pass down quickly.
