Hello and welcome to HCM,
Kidney stones are managed conservatively and surgicalle depending on the size and location of the stone.
Small stones or small calculi are managed conservatiley with fluids and medications.
Large stones are usually managed by surgical measures.
The kidney stone that you have mentioned is too large to be treated by conservative measures and thus surgical measures have to be taken.
Thanks and take care
