ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy) is a minimally invasive method used to treat kidney and urinary tract stones. With this technique, stones are broken into smaller fragments by externally applied shock waves without the need for surgery, allowing them to pass naturally through the urinary tract.

Before treatment, patients are evaluated based on the size, location, and hardness of the stones. Imaging techniques such as ultrasound and X-ray help guide the ESWL procedure.

During the procedure, patients are usually under sedation or local anesthesia. High-energy shock waves are directed at the stones, breaking them into smaller fragments.

After the procedure, patients are advised to drink plenty of fluids and follow measures to facilitate the passage of stone fragments through the urinary tract. Most patients can return to normal activities shortly after treatment.

ESWL can also be used to treat some ureteral stones. As a minimally invasive method, it reduces the risk of complications and provides a comfortable treatment experience.

In our department, ESWL is performed by urology specialists and an experienced technical team. Patients receive detailed information and follow-up care before and after the procedure.

Our mission is to treat stone diseases safely and effectively without surgery, improve patients’ quality of life, and provide patient-centered care using modern medical technologies.
