Hi, I have a Kock Pouch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kock_pouch or http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Kock+pouch). I've had it since 1987. I had a Calcium Oxalate stone a few years ago. The doc used Flomax to help the stone pass and after I was discharged they set up a procedure to remove the stone from my pouch. It was a fairly uninvasive, outpatient procedure. They gave me something IV to sleep and when I woke up it was done. I felt great in Recovery and "blew that pop stand" about an hour later. I have had no problems since!
Nan
