HelloThanks for query. You have been detected to have a large stone of a size of 3.5 cm in your Right Kidney. Only procedure to deal with such a large stone is by an endoscopic surgery (Keyhole surgery) of Per Cutaneous Nephron Lithotomy (P.C.N.L). This is standard surgery carried out all over the world with less morbidity done under spinal anesthesia and gives 100% clearance of stone. Chat Doctor.
