urinary tract stone procedure - NDMT

Posted: Mar 30, 2012

Patient with urinary tract problems. Doc says, "Patient has had percutaneous stone removal and s/l "ESAB welll." I'm not sure if I'm hearing the ESAB part right or even the "welll" part. Don't know if it a procedure or a device or neither. Anyone know?

ERCP, maybe. - n/m

My husband was having rust colored urine and suprapubic and abdominal pain. He went to doc who said he had infected prostatitis. Issue 1 is that he did have an affair some years back and I've read that his kind of prostatitis is kind of rare (about 20%) and this truly could be the case but it also said it could be caused by an STD. Anyone know anything about this? I hope it's not syphylis (I can never spell that word right) because symptoms ...
