Overview
- Kay writes that a CT scan confirmed a large stone blocking the exit of his right kidney, prompting emergency surgery.
- Surgeons used a tiny laser-equipped camera inserted via the urethra to fragment the stone without external incisions.
- A stent was fitted to protect kidney function after what he describes as major urethral trauma.
- He says the later stent removal was performed with minimal pain relief and was intensely painful.
- The account appears in Peter Kay’s Diary, published by HarperCollins, as media also note he recently postponed two Nottingham shows on medical advice with new December dates announced.
