LITHOTRIPSY
Lithotripsy is a modern method for removing stones from the kidneys and urinary tract.
Lithotripsy is a modern method for treating urolithiasis, based on the destruction of kidney and urinary tract stones without open surgery. The main goal of the procedure is to break the stone into small fragments, which are then naturally expelled from the body.
Types of Lithotripsy
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) – the stone is broken down using shock waves delivered through the skin, without punctures or incisions.
Contact Lithotripsy – an endoscope is inserted through the urethra, and the stone is destroyed using a laser or ultrasound.
Percutaneous Lithotripsy – used for large stones, performed through a small puncture in the lumbar region.
Advantages of the Method
No large incisions or stitches.
Minimal invasiveness.
Quick recovery and short hospitalization period.
Possibility of treatment even in patients with comorbidities.
High effectiveness for stones of different sizes and locations.
Indications for Lithotripsy
Stones in the kidneys, ureters, or bladder.
Frequent pain in the lower back or abdomen.
Urinary retention caused by a stone.
Recurrent urinary tract infections.
Risk of kidney damage due to obstruction.
How is the Procedure Performed?
Performed under anesthesia (local, spinal, or general, depending on the method).
The stone is broken into small fragments.
The patient can return to normal life within a few days.
Rehabilitation
Mild discomfort is possible in the first few days.
It is recommended to drink plenty of fluids for quick expulsion of fragments.
Follow-up ultrasound or CT scan to assess the result.
✨ Lithotripsy is a safe, painless, and effective way to eliminate stones and prevent complications of urolithiasis.
📩 Schedule a consultation with a urologist to choose the appropriate treatment method.
