ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy)

What is ESWL?

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to break kidney, ureter, or bladder stones into smaller pieces, making them easier to pass through urine.

When is ESWL Recommended?

  • Stones that are too large to pass naturally
  • Moderate to severe pain due to obstruction
  • Patients who prefer a non-surgical approach

How Does ESWL Work?

  • The patient lies on a specialized table.
  • High-energy shock waves are targeted at the stone using imaging guidance.
  • The waves break the stone into tiny fragments, which pass naturally through urine.

Advantages of ESWL

  • Non-invasive and painless
  • No need for anesthesia
  • Quick recovery time
  • Effective for most kidney and ureter stones

Post-Treatment Care & Recovery

  • Drink plenty of water to help pass stone fragments
  • Avoid heavy lifting for a few days
  • Follow up with your doctor to monitor stone clearance

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Most patients experience mild discomfort, but pain management is provided.

Typically 45–60 minutes.

ESWL has a high success rate, but effectiveness depends on stone size and location.
