Stone Crushing (ESWL Treatment)

Stone Crushing (ESWL Treatment)

High success in the treatment of kidney stones with accurate planning and effective stone breaking (ESWL treatment).

ESWL treatment is the abbreviation of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy method with shock waves from outside the body. It is also known as the method of breaking kidney stones with sound waves. ESWL treatment is a treatment method with a low complication rate in the treatment of kidney stones. The success of lithotripsy treatment with ESWL is high in the stone kidney pool and upper and middle poles. If the stones in the lower pole cannot be dropped completely after breaking, they may merge again to form a large stone. In the treatment of stones at the upper end of the ureter, if other factors are also suitable, stone breaking with ESWL treatment may be preferred.

It is a frequently preferred treatment method in the treatment of kidney and ureteral stones with a low complication rate under suitable conditions.

If the kidney stone is smaller than 2 cm and other factors are suitable, stone breaking can be applied with ESWL treatment. Because, compared to other methods, the complication rate is lower.
