The best mode of treatment for big sized kidney stones (7mm and more) is lithotripsy. Other treatments may include drinking 12 glasses of water so that small sized kidney stones can pass via urine.

My report mentions a solitary intraluminal mobile calculus with posterior acoustic shadowing, measuring 10.9 mm. Will I need surgery to remove it?
