Doctors typically recommend surgery for kidney stones that are larger than 5-6 millimeters, as these stones are less likely to pass on their own and can cause significant pain or complications. If a stone causes severe symptoms, blockage, or infection, surgery may also be indicated regardless of size. Treatment options include procedures like ureteroscopy, shock wave lithotripsy, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy, depending on the stone's size and location.
