After a painful six-month ordeal, a 56-year-old man from Hyderabad got some respite when doctors removed 206 kidney stones after an hour-long surgery.
Doctors at the Aware Gleneagles Global Hospital removed the stones from Veeramalla Ramalakshmaiah, a resident of Nalgonda, through keyhole surgery. He had been on medication prescribed to him by a local health practitioner which was only able to provide him temporary relief.
The pain, however, continued to impact his daily routine, and he was not able to perform his duties efficiently.
Dr Poola Naveen Kumar, Senior Consultant Urologist at the hospital, said, "Initial investigations and an ultrasound scan revealed the presence of multiple left renal caliculi (kidney stones on the left side), and the same was reconfirmed with CT Kub scan."
