12mm kidney stone can it be removed without surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe.: There are many ways to deal with stones. It depends on their composition, size and location. Usually a stone that size will require some sort of intervention, and may be amenable to eswl (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy).
