. That depends on the size of the stone. If the stone is small it may pass without any treatment. Sometimes even a fairly large stone will pass on its own providing the stone is in the duct If the stone is large and it is in the duct probing or opening the ducts surgically may be necessary. If the stone is in the gland and is symptomatic then one would consider surgically removing the gland
