Brief Answer:
You need Endoscopic Surgery for fragmentation of stone .

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up and making precise statement regarding the site of stone which is located to be in Ureter and not in the kidney .

The only treatment option for the stone in ureter is endoscopic fragmentation of stone by a procedure called Uretero Reno Scopy (URS) and putting a stent in in the ureter to help to pass the fragments without any pain .

Get it done at earliest before it damages your kidney .
