I have kidney stones 22mm in my right kidney and 20mm in my left kidney. My doctor mentioned RIRS and PCNL as options for removal but I'm not sure which one is safer. I'm a bit nervous about surgery which procedure would be better for my case considering the stone sizes?

I'm really worried about a mild dilatation in the left pelvicalyceal system and a dilated proximal ureter because of a mid-ureteric calculus that's about 3.6 mm. How serious is this?
