Overview

Lithotripsy is a medical procedure used to treat kidney stones by using sound waves to break them into smaller pieces. This allows the body to pass the stones more easily through the urinary tract. It is a non invasive method meaning no cuts or incisions are required making it a preferred option for many patients.

Why Lithotripsy Treatment is Required?

  • Large kidney stones that are hard to pass.
  • Stones causing pain, blockages or infections.
  • Non surgical option for kidney stone removal.

Key Advantages of Lithotripsy Treatment:

  • Non invasive: No cuts or incisions.
  • Quick recovery: Most people return to normal activities within days.
  • Effective: Breaks down stones making them easier to pass.
  • Minimal pain: Generally less painful than traditional surgery.

How Should You Prepare Yourself Before Taking Lithotripsy Treatment?

  • Consultation: Doctor will assess the stone size and location through ultrasound or other imaging.
  • Medication adjustments: Stop certain medications, if needed.
  • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water before the procedure.
  • Anesthesia options: Discuss local or general anesthesia with your doctor.

How Lithotripsy Treatment is Performed?

  • ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy): Shock waves are directed at the stones.
  • Laser Lithotripsy: Laser used to break down the stones.
  • Percutaneous Lithotripsy: A small incision for direct access to stones (for larger stones).

What You Can Expect Before, During, and After the Procedure?

  • 1. Before: You may need imaging tests, and a gel is applied to target the stones.
  • 2. During: The procedure is quick, you may be awake with local anesthesia or asleep with general anesthesia.
  • 3. After: Mild discomfort or bruising is common, drink plenty of fluids to help pass the stone fragments.

Risk and Potential Complications:

  • Pain or discomfort: Mild soreness after the procedure.
  • Bleeding: Rare but possible.
  • Infection: Small risk of infection, managed with antibiotics.
  • Stone fragments: Some pieces may be too large to pass and require further treatment.

Results/Outcomes:

  • Most people successfully pass the stone fragments.
  • Some may need further treatment if stones are not broken down enough or complications arise.
