The operation to remove hundreds of tiny stones took doctors around two hours
Doctors in China have removed 420 kidney stones from a man's body, blaming an excessive amount of tofu in his daily diet.
Mr He from Zhejiang Province in eastern China, checked into the Dongyang People's Hospital complaining of intense pain in his abdomen last month. A CT scan revealed that his left kidney was packed full of stones, most of them tiny.
Doctors operated on Friday in an agonising procedure that lasted about two hours.
Mr He said he had a history of suffering from kidney stones. Twenty years ago he had 10 stones removed using a procedure called lithotripsy, which sends shock waves to break up stones in the kidney, bladder, or ureter until they are small enough to pass in the urine.
"I have worked as a doctor for 30 years and have never seen so many stones," said Zhou Changchun, the attending surgeon, according to state newspaper Qianjiang Evening Post.

Honda once made a six cylinder motorcycle race engine that revved to nearly 19,000 rpm. The sound was an incredible shriek. One auto journalists compared the sound to a panther passing a kidney stone.
Even my dad told me he'd almost rather die than go through it again... and this guy has a pain threshold like no other, I swear he's a machine
Spent Saturday night Sunday morning in an ER with a lady in excruciating pain from one. I knew she was in trouble because she never complains.
Did you ask the doctor what kind of stone it is? There are a couple of different kinds. Knowing the kind of stone might help you avoid getting them in the future.
BEER?.................I’m safe..........................
I know a woman who had a kidney stone. She didn’t know what it was and thought she was dying. She asked the very young EMT in the ambulance if she was dying. She said he looked about 15 y.o. He looked at her and said, “We’re not allowed to answer questions like that.” She was sure then that she was dying.
At the hospital they told her she had a kidney stone and she was passing it. Unfortunately the one they saw on the X-ray was the second one. She had that one two weeks late.
Yeah me as well, after seeing what this guy in my taxi went through it scared the crap out of me. I remember he was yelling so much people on the street were stopping to look as I drove by. I thought he was faking at first but you can’t fake that pain, it must feel like your guts are getting ripped up.
