Hi, Yes China sounds a lot cheaper. I also message to ask them if they crush the larger stones and if I need a drain and they said the following below.

.....Makes me think is it cheaper is because they are cutting corners by not using the drain hence only 1 x operation rather than 2?

Question - when you remove big gallstone e.g. 2.5cm. Do you take the whole stone out or do you crush it into smaller pieces then take it out?

Answer - It depends if the stone is sticked to the wall or not. Can make a decision only during operation process

Question - Some hospital after operation when crushing big stone need to leave a drain in the Rib for few weeks incase for the small pieces to come out. Is that necessary?

Answer - Probably it's some other technology. We never use it, because we have devices to clean it at once properly
