12mm kidney stone?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Big one: It will require intervention to excise. Also, get your calcium and parathyroid hormone levels checked.

Stone > 1cm: Options largely depends on the location of the stone. A non-obstructing stone in a renal calyx can be treated with shockwaves most of the time. A stone that large in the ureter will likely involve a ureteroscopy.
