My cousin has a liver stone and we're wondering if robotic surgery could be an option for this. We're based in Delhi and have all the test reports ready. Could you advise if this condition might need robotic surgery and if we should bring the patient along with the reports for a consultation?

Liver stone can be treated by ERCP or laparoscopic/robotic surgery if accessible; bring all reports to GI surgeon in Delhi for confirmation.
