"It would be difficult for them to walk around for three or four days after conventional surgery." Another advantage: nephroscopy patients can return to their jobs in about a week; surgical patients require ten days of costly hospitalization and up to eight weeks of convalescence. "There really is no trauma to the system with this method," says Dr. Joseph Segura of the Mayo Clinic, which pioneered the technique...
