Chances of stone remaining after RIRS
My wife undergo RIRS surgery 6 month back to remove the kidney stone of size 14*17 mm.
Doctor told us he made the dust of stone and dust will pass on its own in month or two.
after 2 month we did KUB xray and USG sonography and found 2 stone in ureter just 1 cm above bladder . Our doctor is saying this is just dust and wait for 1 month.
we did again sonography followed by CT scan as and observe 2 stone in ureter and 1 stone in kidney
Just want to know if this is common after RIRS procedure or is something went wrong in operation...please suggest

Kindly upload the CT report which you did after surgery. Depending on reports it would be easier to counsel you if you may or may not need a redo for removal of those residual/new stones(Even that's possible)
Next Steps
Feel free to consult me personally with CT reports. Also upload pre op CT reports + Pic of previous discharge card

Hello, it's common to have few residual stones after rirs. It's unfortunate but a common condition we encounter. If fragments don't pass out from ureter do consider for a procedure for removal . It could be a new stone as well
