One of my friend aged 29 is detected with kidney stones which is on both left and right side size 5 mm and 12 mm. After consulting a urologist he recommended RIRS laser treatment in which only 12 mm stone will b treated by putting a stent which will b removed after a week. A doctor has quoted 1.70 lakhs for the entire procedure which is too high. Kindly suggest if we need to look for other options wherein it would be treated in a lesser budget. Doctor says the 5 mm stone will be automatically removed. Kindly confirm if this can actually be removed or not.

5 mm stone can pass out once you start medicine. But you can do rirs on both sides simultaneously. Cost depends on the hospital.In my hospital (kims trivandrum) it cost 1.3 lakhs. 12 mm stone can be broken using ESWL technique. Clearance rate of stone after ESWL is 90 %. Cost of ESWL procedure is only 25000. No admission required (opd procedure. For rirs success rate of stone breakage is 99%.
