If the stones are small, the patient is advised to go back to drinking more water and bouncing more, and the stones will be solved without spending a penny. If the stone is slightly larger and grows on the ureter, the first thing to do is to take medication to remove the stone, which can be solved with a few hundred dollars. If it doesn’t work, you need to take extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, which is done once for 680 yuan, and usually 3 times to knock down the stones. If the stones are larger and more, you may have to do ureteroscopy, which costs about 6,000 yuan a time. Stones that are large and multiple on one side of the kidney will require percutaneous nephrolithoscopy, which may cost$20,000 -$25,000. If the stones are bilateral stones, it may cost$40,000-$50,000. So the cost of stone surgery is determined by the size, number and location of the stones.
