How Can Uterine Stone Be Treated?

I am scheduled for a ureteroscopy on 28 sep---I have a stone(7mm) in my right ureter ( aug 19) which has been stented and shock waved but stone has not moved much---my question is will the stent come out after the surgery or before---I had a problem when it was put in---could not urinate because of blood clots and an enlarged prostate---have been taking finasteride and Flomax for almost a month since the stent was inserted---peeing much better but worried about surgery and leaving that stent in so long---worst pain I ve ever experienced after the stent was put in and still is painfully uncomfortable everytime I pee now

If a kidney stone is too big to be passed naturally – 6-7mm (about 0.23 to 0.27in) in diameter or larger – you may need treatment to remove it another way.
This could include:
extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL)
ureteroscopy
percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL)
open surgery

widely using procedures.
