Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Stenting and stone removal will be the best option for you. This a endoscopic procedure and side effects are minimal. You can also go for procedures like ESWL (extracorporal short wave lithotripsy). Consult your urologist and he will direct you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
