Kidney stone in left side kidney
16x16 mm stone in left renal pelvis with 1400 HU. We tried to remove it URSL. Part of stone removed and part of stone migrated to lower calyx. We are planning for ESWL for remaining fragment which is around 10mm ( approx 1400 HU which was the previous HU). Will ESWL remove the stone? Which is the best hospital for ESWL in Chennai? Kindly provide your insight.

Stone of that much Higher HU value unlikely to break with ESWL ..... That too in lower pole... success rates will be low
