Hello, Mr. lybrate-user, how are you? I have gone through your question. You have a stone in Ureter. The size is too big. Without thinking anything, you straight way go for surgery. You have not mentioned about the location of stone. If it is in upper part, it will be removed By operation called PCNL. And if in lower part, lithotripsy will be done by endoscopy. Best of luck.
