Kindney stone 12mm
My wife has a kidney stone of 12 mm nearly at the same place where it was detected earlier to be 13 mm and she got operated. It seems operation are not helping as the stone is forming again.
Please suggest a best way to proceed.

The management depends on where exactly the stone is. What surgery was done earlier? Stone of this size won’t go with medicines. It will need to be fragmented and removed completely. With laser, stones can be completely cleared anywhere in system
