I've got kidney stones in both kidneys some are as big as 15 mm and others around 6 mm. Since they're too large to pass on their own, is it usually possible to remove all of them in a single surgery or would I need multiple procedures?

15mm kidney stone typically requires surgical intervention. Stones this size are unlikely to pass naturally and can cause complications if left untreated

I'm a 32-year-old male dealing with hydrocele and looking for a doctor near Thane. Can you tell me how long the surgery takes, what the cost might be, and if there are any other treatment options besides surgery?

For adult males, hydroceles often go away on their own within six months. A hydrocele requires treatment only if it gets large enough to cause discomfort or disfigurement. Then it might need to be surgically removed... The procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis during general or regional anesthesia..No other treatment are as effective as surgery..Consult Surgeon for further advice...
