Kidney stone
My mother had kidney stone operation 20 years ago. Now she has a stone of 16 mm in same kidney and she has to undergo the operation next week. But we haven't told the doctor about previous operation. Does it makes any difference( doctor has told that SHOCK WAVE LITHOTRIPSY will be done)
