Is Bloatedness Normal After Having Kidney Stones Removed?

my husband had a kidney stone removed (through uretha) two days ago - but has not had a bowel movement since (or before the removal for three days) - he used a laxative suppository (doctor said to ) 2 hours ago - but has still not had bowel movement - he is bloated and in pain on side where kidney stone removed - should we go to emergency room?

Hello
Thanks for query .

Based on your statement it seems that your husband has undergone endoscopic surgery (URS) for removal of stone in left ureter and since then has not passed stools and has boated abdomen .

This is mostly due to what is called as post operative Paralytic Ileus which happens once in a while after doing pelvic surgery .

Please admit him in hospital and take following treatment
1) No fluids or food till he passes flatus or stools
2) I.V fluids to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance
3) Antibiotics

It may take two or three days to recover completely .
