Kidney stone removed-coconut size

Kidney stone removed
Doctors in the Hungarian city of Debrecen removed yesterday a kidney stone of 17 centimeters in diameter from a patient Sandor Sarkadiju, which is approximately the size of coconut.

Mr. Sardaki was urgently operated after the X-rey image found that he carries the giant kidney stone. Removal of the stone of 1.25 kilograms passed by with no problems, Daily Mail writes.
The size of kidney stones varies; they may be small as a grain of sand or the size of golf balls, but the stone of coconut size so far no one has yet seen. Most kidney stones after laser surgery pass through the body within a few hours or days. Doctors recommend patients to drink large quantities of liquids in order to expedite the process, and sometimes they propose a special way of eating. Extra large kidney stones have to be surgical removed.
