My dad just had an ultrasound done, and they found an 11 mm stone in his right kidney. He's not feeling any pain or discomfort right now. Should we be considering surgery, or are there medications that might help with this? What do you think?

11mm is a big stone. It is unlikely to pass on its own. Better to get it removed
