Calcium Oxalate Bladder stones

Well, the vet has confirmed that my 4yr old maltese/chihuahua has calcium oxalate bladder stones. After speaking with her (she's a SUPER vet) and checking on the internet..I'm leaning toward surgery vs taking my chances with the diet for shrinking them. Has anyone had any success with using diet or medicine for shrinking these stones..or had them recur after being surgically removed? I don't like the idea of putting her under, but don't want her to suffer any additional pain if she suffers a blockage.
Thank you,
