Hello dear Lybrate user,
Warm welcome to Lybrate.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly.* Only 9.2 mm stone requires ESWL.* 5 mm stone does not require ESWL. Hope this clears your query. Wishing you fine recovery. Welcome for any further assistance. Regards take care.

If it is not broken with eswl then don't try any other method other than rirs. It is a surgical procedure which does not involve any incision or stitch.

Rirs is another option which does not involve any incision or stitch. Just meet a urologist who is good at RIRS.

You can try eswl but you might need 3-4 sitting for it. Stone clearance rate is also inferior with eswl.
