ESWL

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is a non-invasive procedure used to break kidney stones into smaller pieces using focused sound waves. It’s a safe and effective alternative to surgery for most small to medium-sized stones.

Description

ESWL is performed without any cuts or instruments inserted into the body. It uses high-energy shock waves that pass through the body and target the kidney stones, breaking them into tiny fragments. These fragments are then naturally flushed out through the urine over a few days or weeks. The procedure typically lasts about 30 to 60 minutes and is done under light sedation or anesthesia, depending on patient comfort and stone size.

It is ideal for stones less than 2 cm in size, especially if they are located in the kidney or upper ureter. ESWL avoids the risks and recovery time of invasive procedures. Most patients return to normal activity within a day or two, though they may experience mild discomfort while passing the stone fragments. Proper hydration and follow-up imaging help ensure complete stone clearance.
