Not every kidney stone patient needs surgery. Many small stones can pass naturally with fluids, medication and monitoring. Surgery or a minimally invasive procedure may be recommended when the stone is large, causes persistent pain or blockage, leads to infection or doesn’t pass on its own.
So, there isn’t one fixed percentage—it really depends on the stone’s size, location, symptoms, and the patient’s condition. A urologist can determine the best approach after imaging and evaluation.
