Dear Mr Anil Pal,
We understand your medical concern and are there to help you.
With a stone size between 10-20 mm and in the lower calyx of the kidney, RIRS or PCNL are the suggested treatment options.
RIRS is suggested as it is less invasive than PCNL, offering a high chance of a stone-free rate. RIRS is a good option in expert hands
ESWL requires multiple sessions and is suggested when the stone size is less than 10mm.
