Good Day !

You have several options. You can have it removed via a flexible ureteroscopy and laser which is inserted via the penis. another option would be go to a medical center that can do PCNL on a supine or lateral oblique position. I am sure there are centers who are equip with long PCNL instruments for obese patients.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes.
