Being a veteran of around 10 kidney stones, the only suggestion I have is to drink alot of fluids, mostly clear fluids. 10mm is a very large stone and may not pass through the uretha tube.  Go to a urologist and have him do some more x-rays. Perhaps the whirlpool bath is what you need. The vibrations will break up the stone and make them more readily passable. It is a surgical procedeure that I had to  go through once.

Everyone gets auditted from someone these days so the information will be somewhere out there. Remember that this information has to be carefully interpreted eg some physicians select better cases to treat and may have better outcomes because of this. Ask your doc how many he's done and then just ahve faith. Numbers are just numbers at the end of the day and most people would actually be happier not knowing.\n\nAnd radiotherapy instead of surgery suggests (atleast in the UK) non-curative treatment.\n\nPS If you're friendly with a doctor I'd ask him for personal recommendations, he may even recommend someone if you're not on friendly terms. Remember doctors (should) get a broad level of experience and will have worked with at least a few local urologists/ radiologists. This route is much better than looking for statistics in my opinion

Surgical procedures for Benign Prostate Hypertrophy, or "BPH", range from open prostatectomy to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) to transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP). Balloon dilatation is also being used by some urologists, although it is still officially classified as experimental. Medications for BPH include a1-blockers like terazosin (Hytrin®) and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride (Proscar®). Newer treatment methods currently under investigation run the gamut from laser prostatectomy to microwave thermal therapy to urethral stents. The objective of scientists developing these new techniques is to find ways to treat BPH that are less involved and, therefore, safer than surgery.\n\nTreatment for BPH is covered by almost all insurance plans.

Intestinal ablation is a surgery performed to limit foot absorption.  It's usually performed on obese people, but in your niece's case, probably necessary because of her other issue with not being able to void on her own.\n\nhere's a website that describes the procedure:  http://www.freshpatents.com/Intestinal-ablation-to-limit-food-absorption-dt20060427ptan20060086362.php

kidney stones can be removed by passing them yourself, or by using ultra-sound to shatter them--yet gallstones in the gall bladder can only be removed by taking out the gall bladder to my knowledge- my wife had it done a few months ago--they do it by laporoscopy- just a small incision near the belly button- not major invasive surgery anymore-- maybe i week recovery- just to rest and catch up- any ??-holler back at me- your friend should be fine -don't worry--today- it's only day surgery-after they wake up from the anesthesia- they send them home--not bad at all-really!! don't worry !!!!

(m)\n\nTREATMENT\nIn most instances gallstones cannot be dissolved by medical treatment . The Gall Bladder must be removed along with the stones in it. People have asked me if "Gall Bladder Flush" therapy works. To my knowledge this treatment not effective and I do not recommend it. Doctors cannot ethically use or recommend any treatment unless it is known and proven to be both effective and safe in a significantly large proportion of people. \n\n\nLITHOTRIPSY: Using ultrasonic shock waves to break stones is not a currently accepted form of treatment for Gall Bladder stones. \n\n\nSURGERY: The most effective cure for gall bladder stones is surgery. The classic "old" operation required a big cut, but nowadays most people are treated by Laparoscopic Surgery. \n\n\nLAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY\nThis is currently the treatment of choice for Gall Bladder stones. The Gall Bladder and the stones are removed through small punctures. It is technically possible to remove the stones alone - but this would leave the problem gall bladder behind - which could continue to cause problems or form stones. Removing a diseased gall bladder does not cause any disability. Under normal circumstances, one would not feel the absence of the gall bladder. \n\n\nLAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY \n\n(Removal of the Gall Bladder via key-hole size punctures) \n\n\nThis operation is performed by specially trained surgeons. Special equipment is used to look inside the abdominal cavity ("stomach") with a video camera. The Gall Bladder with its stones are removed through small punctures. \n\n\nA general anaesthetic is required and one has to stay in hospital for about 72 hours. \n\n\nLaparoscopic surgery for gall bladder stones cannot be done in all cases. Some people, whose stones have moved out of the gall bladder into the bile duct may need either an open operation or an additional procedure known as an ERCP. \n\n\nIn addition, it is not technically possible to do a laparoscopic operation at all in some people because of severe inflammation or adhesions between organs. Such patients mat require an open operation. \n\n\nADVANTAGES OF LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY:\n1. Much less painful, only 3 to 4 stitches are needed. \n\n\n2. Only 2 to 3 days stay in hospital (as little as 1 day in some instances) \n\n\n3. The patient can eat and drink the soon after operation. There usually no need for an intravenous drip to be administered for 2 or 3 days as used to be the case after "open" cholecystectomy - the name used for the operation of removal of a gall bladder through a big cut. \n\n\n4. Normal life can be resumed in about a week. \n\n\n5. Minimal blood loss at surgery.

no, surgery is not the only solution, the doctors can give her medication through IV that will break the stones and she will be able to get them out through the urinary track. Don't let them operate until they try that. My stepmother had the same problem, and they were able to resolve it without operating

It has a treatment, and possibly a cure.  If you know the medical term then you probably know a urologist.  What do you really want to know?

I had a 9mm stone that was broken up with a lithotripsy procedure. The result was several stones that were 1-2cm. The pain was the worst of my life. \n\nSo, it is possible to have passed the stone. Only an KUB XRay should tell (and even then it might not). But, if you have no pain, and no blood in your urine, you might be just fine.
