It lasted for around three hours.
The patient, who is reportedly healthy now and has returned to his regular routine, had come from Hubli and was admitted to the Preeti Urology & Kidney Hospital.
The patient, Basavaraj Madiwalar, a school teacher by profession developed sudden pain near his abdomen, and screening showed the presence of a large cluster of renal stones (kidney stones).
