That will depend on the type of operation that could vary from outpatient procedure to several hospital days.

That depends on where the stone is located, what surgery was done, if there is an infection, and what other associated conditions. It varies for everyone depending on the situation
Depends on how big it is, if they are obstructing, if there's infection as well, but not very long if it's a straight forward case. Usually 1-2 nights if the urologist is available to bust them up! If we are just using meds, about 2 nights to make sure everything is headed in the right direction. Every case is different though.
