Brief Answer:
We usually give medications to dissolve the stone first.

Detailed Answer:
good day and thank you for being with healthcare magic!

Base on the ct scan findings that you provided you have a horseshoe kidney this is one of the most common congenital anomaly of the kidney and usually this doesn't cause any problems however in your case, other than the horseshoe kidney you have bilateral kidney stones 0.6 cm and and other one is 1.1 cm.

For kidney stones what we usually do is at first we do medical dissolution therapy we give potassium citrate to dissolve the stones and if the stone doesn't get dissolve then the next step would be to do is eswl or shockwave therapy.

horseshoe kidney is rare in the lower pole of both kidneys are abnormally attached to one another.

eswl or shock wave therapy is a very non-invasive therapy for fragmentation of kidney stones this is usually done as an outpatient procedure and complications are very rare

you also need to do lifestyle changes and dietary modifications stone size won't increase or stones will not develop in the future you have to drink 2 to 3 liters of water a day for your lifetime avoid coffee chocolates peanuts other nuts and all salty foods a good diet with adequate exercise also has been shown to decrease stone formation in patients.
