Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri was in good health Sunday after the successful removal of kidney stones, a hospital statement said.  

 

Hariri, 58, was admitted to the American University Hospital in Beirut early Sunday for a lithotripsy, the non-invasive removal of kidney stones by breaking up the stones into small pieces by sound waves to facilitate their passage.  

 

"Prime Minister Hariri left the hospital in good health to spend at home a period of convalescence," a hospital statement said, according to AP. (Albawaba.com)
