I had the PCNL tube removed today. Now it's swollen around the area. Is this normal
I think you mean a stent?
I would not worry too much unless it looks infected.
I had pcnl at beginning of December last year.
Stent was in for a week and I was in hospital for that week.
All is fine now.
Take care and keep in touch

I still have a stent. They removed the nephrostomy tube the day I left the hospital. It is swelling around that area. The swelling goes down then swells up again. Hoping it is just from the actual surgery.
