[|AI|]  Hi there, the CT scan report is a little fuzzy but what I gather is that there is a stone about .6 cm-.8 cm size in the rt ureter, and it is not causing any significant obstructive myopathy. The pain that your brother experienced is due to the stone moving downwards. Usually this size of stone does not require surgery and usually pass down on its own over a period of time. Though it can be painful, there are other options besides surgery like ESL to break up the stone into smaller pieces so that it can pass out in the urine. Kindly consult a urologist and get your options cleared and accordingly opt for the best kind of treatment. Take care
