  Sir...it looks like around 1.5 cm lower pole calculus..with another small stone...

  My approach...

  I would like to do 

                 Urine routine |why? Wants urinary                                       tract to be sterile                   Urine cs

                 Blood count s to rule out infection or platelet numbers and as routine

                 Renal function test, special ly creatine if I plan contrast study and as routine

                Usg kub general survey or plan an angle of puncture if I plan to do usg guided puncture

                With it I would like to do a plain CT with ct urogram... relevant anatomy in relation to stone... density...hu relevant if I plan  eswl...infundibulopelvic angle,wide of infundibulam,lenth of infundibulam...thse r necessary if I plan to do rirs...or pcnl

  
  

  My plan...

     1) since she is young woman,I would offer her RIRS as my first modality of treatment.sfr  better then eswl, but natural orifice surgery...

    2) ESWL...it will be second...I will inform about pros n cons....least invasive...least sfr...has to pass stone through body I. Real time...chance of infection...pain...

  3)Mini pcnl...best sfr but high morbidity

  My first thoughts on seeing the Single plate IVU

  Why does she have hydronephrosis -- calyceal dilatation seen seen  in all calyces--despite having a lower pole calculus

  Yes Nitesh,  I agree. 

  May be that is a cause of right HN. 

  This patient presented with single plate IVU done recently. 

  That is why I asked will you ask for anything more on imagining side? 

  Or your decision is RIRS,  in that case it will not make any difference... 

  Thanks
