My husband is 75 years old . He has a silent stone 1.7cm in the upper pile of kidney . Should it be removed? What is the safest method?

A stone more than 1 cm in the upper pole of the kidney must be removed.
Otherwise, it might get progressively bigger over time.
The best less invasive way to treat a small renal stone is usually a fragmentation using an extracorporeal lithotripsy.
