depending on procedure
most are done in outpatient setting

  • Internist
  • Houston, TX

Not long unless there is an infection that needs to be treated. If no infection, or kidney failure, then 1 night in hospital should be OK.

  • Fort Worth, TX

If you have an infection complicating the stone they may want to keep you in a couple of days for IV antibiotics. Otherwise you should be going home the same day or the next day
