3. Lithotripsy

Rationale:
When medication fails to dissolve stones, the preferred method of treatment is lithotripsy, which is using sound waves to crush the stones so they can be passed out of the urinary system. Depending on the location of the stones, surgery may be the next step in the treatment process. Diet and fluids are used to prevent further stone formation.
