How large a kidney stone can be blasted with lithotripsy?

Kidney stone sizes that are successfully treated with lithotripsy:

- Smaller stones (less than 1 cm or 0.4 inches) have the highest success rate.

- Stones between 1 cm and 2 cm (0.4 to 0.8 inches) have a good success rate.

- Stones larger than 2 cm (0.8 inches) may require multiple sessions or a combination of lithotripsy and other treatments.
