Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Q. what are the options for her kidney removal with minimal surgery?
Shock wave lithotripsy. It uses sound waves to create strong vibrations (shock waves) that break the stones into tiny pieces that can be passed in your urine. This can cause moderate pain, blood in the urine and discomfort as the stone fragments pass through the urinary tract.
If not successful then surgically can remove stone using small instruments inserted through a small incision in your back. Discuss with your doctor for the same.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards
