there are 25 millimeters in a inch, so a 3 mm stone is roughly 1/8th of a inch.

What kind of surgery would you have for 6ml kidney stone?

For a 6mm kidney stone, the recommended surgical procedure is often ureteroscopy, where a thin tube is inserted through the urethra and bladder to access the ureter and remove or break up the stone using laser energy. If the stone is not easily accessible or if there are complications, shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) may also be considered, which uses sound waves to break the stone into smaller pieces. In some cases, percutaneous nephrolithotomy may be necessary if the stone is large or causing significant obstruction. Always consult a urologist for the best treatment option based on individual circumstances.
