Is ESWL Or Lithotripsy Recommended For Stone Removal?
Hello doctor, I have been diagnosed with multiple renal calculi in both the kidneys amounting to three and the largest one is 7mm. I do not have any pain like symptoms but wanted to get rid of these stones as they may cause issues on a later stage. Can I get these removed with shock waves procedure called ESWL or lithotripsy.
Good day and thank you for being with healthcare magic!
Yes ESWL is ideal for small kidney stones and is a non invasive procedure. this would fragment the stones and make passage of the stones fragments easier.
