Hello dear lybrate-user, hi Warm welcome to Lybrate.com I have evaluated your query thoroughly.* The alternative to open surgery is non invasive intervention where they break the stone with Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.* This is not actually surgery, do not get afraid of that, as I am highlighting its benifits - No cut on the body - No anesthesia - You can see the procedure on computer screen - No need of per urethral tube - Discharge from hospital within 24 hours - Can go to work within 2 days Hope this clears your query. Wishing you fine recovery. Welcome for any further assistance. Regards take care.
