“Is kidney stone removal surgery painful?”
My doctor has recommended me to undergo surgery to get rid of my kidney stones. Is this surgery painful? I'm nervous.

There are different ways of stone removal. I am not sure which one you are going to have. Usually, you will be sedated during the procedure. You should talk to your doctor about what kind of procedure you are going to have: Eswl, ureteroscopy, percutaneous lithotripsy/lithotomy, open surgery. etc.
Not much
Not with anesthesia.
