I have a 15mm kidney stone in my right PUJ and a 9mm one in my left kidney, and my creatinine serum level is 1.13. My doctor recommends laser surgery with a stent, but I'm wondering if there's any way to remove or dissolve these stones naturally. How long can I safely delay the surgery?

Given the size of your kidney stones (15mm and 9mm) and your creatinine level (1.13), a delay in surgery might not be advisable, especially for the larger stone in the PUJ. While natural methods like increased fluid intake can help with small stones, larger ones and those causing obstruction, like the 15mm one, typically require intervention.
