About this Procedure
ESWL (extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy) is a non-surgical treatment for kidney stones. Shock waves generated by a machine outside the body are focused on the stone to break it into small pieces, which then pass out of the body in the urine. No cuts are made.
Most small kidney stones pass on their own, but stones that are too large to pass naturally, or that cause ongoing pain, may need treatment. ESWL is used for stones in the kidney and parts of the ureter. The type of treatment recommended, whether ESWL, ureteroscopy or PCNL, depends on the size and location of your stones.
Ultrasound or X-ray is used to pinpoint the stone before the shock waves are delivered. Because ESWL can be uncomfortable, it is usually carried out after giving painkilling medicine, and some people are given general anaesthetic. According to MedlinePlus, the procedure takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour, and most people go home the same day after up to about 2 hours in the recovery room. You may be given a strainer to collect stone fragments. More than one session is sometimes needed to clear the stones.
ESWL is offered at Medwell's partner hospitals in Delhi NCR, including BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital in New Delhi, Artemis Hospital and Fortis Memorial Research Institute in Gurugram, and Fortis Hospital, Noida. Medwell helps you share scans in advance so the urologist can advise whether ESWL is the right option.
