Rahul Brown, a 58-year-old high school...
Rahul Brown, a 58-year-old high school history teacher and father of three, had been experiencing a dull, persistent ache in his right flank for months, which he initially attributed to a pulled muscle from gardening. The pain became sharp and severe, accompanied by waves of nausea. A history of kidney stones in his 30s meant he recognized the feeling, but this was different, more constant. After a weekend of agony, an urgent CT scan revealed not a stone, but a significant narrowing (stricture) in his right ureter, likely from scar tissue, causing a dangerous backup of urine and hydronephrosis. His urologist, Dr. Evans, recommended a robotic-assisted ureteroplasty to reconstruct the blocked section, explaining it was necessary to save the kidney from permanent damage. Anxious about surgery but trusting his doctor, Rahul underwent the procedure. The surgery was successful, and a temporary stent was placed. Recovery at home was uncomfortable for the first week, with stent-related urgency and some blood in his urine, but the debilitating flank pain was gone. After the stent was removed four weeks later, follow-up imaging showed excellent urine flow and a preserved kidney. Emotionally, Rahul moved from fear of losing an organ and anxiety about being sidelined from his students, to profound relief and gratitude. He felt a new appreciation for his health and returned to his garden, and his classroom, with renewed energy.
