1.25 cm won't go off with medication. It will have to be fragmented.these days majority of the stones can be treated endoscopically. CT KUB is essential to plan treatment plan. If it's on the kidney of this size RIRS is the best procedure using flexible scope and laser. Short hospital stay, minimal risk. Can resume work quickly
