Treatment for stones under 6\u00a0mm that aren't causing obstruction is to wait and let it pass on its own while providing supportive treatment to patient such as intramuscular analgesics for pain that is severe and antibiotics in case of infection.  Treatment for stones above 6\u00a0mm is shock wave lithography or surgery.  In your case there are multiple stones that need to be removed bilaterally.  The best approach would be to try shock wave and pass a Stent which would allow for the passage of stones.  In case of failure more open surgical approach would be needed.  Besides multiple calculi means you might have a blood disorder that is causing formation of stones.  After passage or removal of stones, send them for analysis, and you would need some dietary modification depending on what it turns out to be
