Diet, hydration and lithotripsy.
Urologists may remove kidney stones if accessible by going from the urethra to the bladder then to the ureter and can put a stent to better drain the tract and can retrieve an accessible stone by a basket. If it fails, then Lithotripsy might be needed and if all above fail and the stone needs to be removed, then surgery would be needed.
