I am lucky enough to go to a hospital which has a large spinal cord unit. Anyway, I had this done about five years ago. It was considered surgery because they did a spinal block in order to prevent the AD. Then they proceeded to use a scope with a laser on it. I was able to watch them blast the stones up and retrieve them on a television set. It was akin to one of the Empire's battle cruisers blasting asteroids in the Empire Strikes Back.
