HelloThanks for query. Your 52 years old mother has been detected to have stone of a size of 40 mm in her Right kidney. Considering the size of the stone being 4 cm in size Extra Corporeal Shock Wave lithography (ESL) is not possible in her case. The only best treatment option for her is to get the stone fragmented and removed by a procedure called Per Cutaneous Nephron Lithotomy (PCNL). This surgery is done by a well-trained qualified Urologist under spinal anesthesia, and she has to be hospitalized for 3 days. Diabetes and hypertension that she has will be taken cared of by a team of physicians. Chat Doctor.
