Best treated all kind of kidney stones by best urologist in Mumbai, Dr. Dilip Raja.
The treatment for kidney stones is similar in children and adults.
You may be asked to drink a lot of water. Doctors try to let the stone pass without surgery.

02. URS - ureteroscopy, an endoscope is inserted through the ureter to retrieve or obliterate the stone.
03. PCNL - for very large or complicated stones, doctors will use percutaneous nephrolithotomy/nephrolithotripsy.
