Brief Answer:
PCNL is the recommended procedure.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I can certainly understand your concern.
I have gone through your uploaded report as well.
In general, stones that are 4 mm in diameter or smaller will probably pass spontaneously, and stones that are larger than 8 mm are unlikely to pass without surgical intervention.
The best minimally invasive procedure I can recommend is percutaneous nephrolithotomy/PCNL. This procedure will virtually cure you of your condition.
Please check with a urologist if he can recommend this procedure to you.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
