hello,
it depends now if the stone is still there after the aayurvedic medication you took.
i would suggest get a repeat ultrasound to be done before you decide to go for an operation.
laser operation is a best option as there is less pain and less time taken to do the operation and minimal scars will be there cosmetically.
hope have answered your query.
thanking you.
