This size stone usually requires surgical removal.
Dynamite is indicated. (just kidding).... how about ultrasound ?
You may also use a hammer, three strikes and the stone is broken into very small pieces. ( just kidding again, the solution is a surgical removal, in fact it is not a complicated surgery, because it is not so invasive. )
A 1cm calculus in the kidney is a fancy way of saying that there is a kidney stone that is a little less than 1/2 an inch in diameter (about the size of a pencil eraser).
In humans, the kidneys are two small organs located near the vertebral column at the small of the back. The left kidney lies a little higher than the right kidney. They are bean-shaped, about 4 in. (10 cm) long and about 21/2 in. (6.4 cm) wide.
The kidney 1 inch (1.5 cm) thick.
Yes. Normally the kidney is approximately 11-14 cm in length, 6 cm wide and 4 cm thick. The left is slightly larger.
Yes if it's more than 1cm it won't be able to get out the normal way and probably has to be split in lesser parts .
The Guiness Book of World Records records; Peter Baulman (Australia) had a kidney stone removed from his right kidney in December 2003 at The Gold Coast Hospital, Southport, Queensland, Australia, weighing 356 g (12.5 oz) and measuring at its widest point, 11.86 cm (4.66 in). The largest kidney stones most doctors ever get to see is the size of a golf ball. So surgeons in Hungary were taken aback when they removed a stone the size of a coconut from a man earlier today. Sandor Sarkadi underwent an abdominal operation in Debrecen, 150 miles east of Budapest, after doctors discovered he had a kidney stone inside him that was 17 centimetres in diameter. Mr Sardaki was rushed into an operation theatre in the Kenez Gyula Hospital when an X-ray revealed he was carrying around the gigantic lump. The delicate procedure to remove the stone, which weighed a staggering 2.48lbs, passed without incident. Kidney stones vary in size. They can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball, which makes Mr Sarkadi's stone all the more remarkable.
11-14 cm in length, 6 cm wide and 4 cm thick.
About 5 cms

The 'typical' size of an adult human kidney is about 10 to 13 cm (4 to 5 inches) long, about 5 to 7.5 cm (2 to 3 inches) wide and 2 to 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick. A human kidney resembles the size of a fist.
In a normal human adult, each kidney is about 10 cm long, 5.5 cm in width and about 3 cm thick, weighing 150 grams. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney * =)
