As far as I know there is no negative effect upon the kidneys of the surgery. We have had 3-4 people that have had kidney stones after the surgery. Just this morning one of our patient's mother contacted me saying her daughter was found to have some kidney problems. I do not think it is from the surgery but I am contacting the patient and her Dr's today and I will get back to you ASAP. > Do Kidneys require > that a certain amount of fluid pass thru them in order to remain > healthy? Yes and they get plenty after the surgery. > What about the bladder???? Many >80% of preop patient have bladder incontinence prior to the surgery. Nearly 100% have improvement or resolution after surgery. > > Thanks very much > > Waunakee-WI > RR Rutledge, M.D., F.A.C.S.
