Renal stones allow men to experience the throes of labour pains, and is described as the male equivalent of labour. After experiencing all that pain to have a five millimeter sized stone tinkle into the toilet may be a huge relief, but it is is a joyless labour, more a sense of relief, than the joy that accompanies the birth of a child.
Surprisingly, huge renal stones can be relatively painless. We operated on a patient who had come to us from a far distance, who was nurturing a staghorn calculus in his right kidney.
He had enough stones to inspire the scrub nurse to comment that we could make a necklace and ear rings out of them.
