A 6mm kidney stone in the mid-pole of the left kidney is unlikely to pass naturally and often requires medical intervention. While it's possible to pass a stone of this size on its own, the likelihood is significantly lower compared to smaller stones. Surgery might be recommended if the stone is causing severe pain, infection, or a blockage
