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? Should I be concerned about potential complications, or does it usually resolve on its own? What steps should I take next in terms of treatment or management?

., Most kidney stones are small and pass out with the urine. Some stones become stuck in a kidney or in the tube draining urine from the kidney (the ureter). .... Most kidney stones will be small enough no more than 4mm..to be passed out in your urine. It may be possible to treat these at home.
However, small kidney stones may still cause pain. The pain from smaller kidney stones usually lasts a couple of days and disappears when the stone has been passed..

My mom had an ultrasound that showed a 20 mm simple cortical cyst in the lower pole of her right kidney. Two months later, another ultrasound from a different lab showed the cyst grew to 30mm x 23mm in the same kidney. Is this size concerning and does she need surgery for it?
Yes,surgery is the only option.PCNL-percutaneous nephrolithotomy,URSL-uretroscopic lithotripsy and lastly RIRS--retrograde intrarenal surgery here a fexible scope is inserted into the kidney stone is located and fragmented into smaller pieces using a laser technolgy.But URSL is the procedure specifically used for removal of stones in the urethra and ureter by passing a flexxible tube and use of laser and fragmenting the stones and the small stones usually pass through urethra.
