Brief Answer: Surgery not need Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for your query. For a stone measuring 3.5 mm I do not think there is need for a surgery. You can get it burst by ESWL (Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy). This is the safest, non invasive and effective treatment available. Do consult a Urologist who can help you in this regard. Wish you good health. Regards,
