What Are Kidney Stones and When is Surgery Needed?
Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys. Small stones may pass spontaneously with medication and hydration. Surgery is recommended when stones:
- Are larger than 5‑6 mm and unlikely to pass naturally
- Cause severe pain, obstruction, or infection
- Are located in the ureter and cause hydronephrosis (kidney swelling)
- Recur despite preventive measures

General ward is most affordable; private/suite rooms increase cost.
