ESWL: TRIAD OF GOOD MACHINE, PRESENCE OF UROLOGIST TO AID IN FOCUSSING AND SEDATION TO DELIVER MAXIMUM POSSIBLE INTENSITY OF WAVES ALWAYS WORKS

ESWL is the least invasive of the commonplace modalities for definitive stone treatment, but provides a lower stone-free rate than other more invasive treatment methods, such as ureteroscopy with LASER lithotripsy/RIRS  or PCNL. The passage of stone fragments may take a few days or a week and may cause residual fragments to remain in kidney needing multiple sessions or sometimes auxilliary procedures like RIRS or PCNL.

The success or failure of ESWL depend upon many factors- density of the stone, how good is the focussing and the strength of the waves(intensity). 

We are proud to have Dornier alpha lithotripsy machine.The success rate of ESWL in our hospital is better.

We also ensure a fully trained and competent technician to do it and being monitored by one of our in house urologists.

We do ESWL under sedation to avoid pain and movements so that focussing would be good and also the intensity of the shock waves can be increased to the optimum. The vitals and colour of urine are being monitored continuously.
