Russian surgeons remove walnut-sized kidney stone in rare medical case
Surgeons in Russia's Udmurt Republic have removed an unusually large kidney stone from a patient. The stone, measuring over three centimetres in diameter—about the size of a walnut, is a rare occurrence in medical practice. The operation took place at Glazov City Hospital, where doctors successfully extracted the kidney stone without any complications. Typically, urinary tract stones are much smaller, rarely exceeding 0.7 millimetres in diameter. The patient is now recovering under medical supervision, with local reports confirming the procedure went smoothly. In Russian regions like Udmurtia, medical cases of this nature are often reported anonymously. The removal of a walnut-sized kidney stone marks an unusual medical event, highlighting the challenges surgeons occasionally face with exceptionally large kidney stones.
