Would you wait a period of time before collecting a 24 hour urine stone risk study in a patient with nephrolithiasis who recently underwent a urologic stone removal procedure?

I generally recommend waiting until the patient is back to steady state, stents are out, pain controlled, and they are back to their usual diet. This time period after urologic procedure varies depending on what the procedure is and if any post-procedure complications and their management.
