About ESWL

Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy or ESWL is a non-invasive procedure for removing kidney stones. The procedure uses high-frequency sound waves to target stones and breaks them into smaller fragments so they can be flushed out of the body through urine. Urologists generally recommend ESWL when the medications are ineffective to manage the pain and treat the stone. Shockwave lithotripsy for kidney stones is usually recommended for kidney stones of diameter 6-8mm. Get in touch with us to know more about ESWL treatment in Chennai.

Who can benefit from ESWL Treatment?

ESWL works effectively for patients with a stone size less than 10mm located in the kidney or high in the ureter. However, when kidney stones are present low in the ureter, near the pelvis and bladder, they don’t usually respond well. Therefore, it is important to consult your doctor before undergoing the ESWL treatment.

Overview

Kidney stones mean passage time:
  • Stone size less than 2mm: 8 to 10 days
  • Stone size between 3 - 4mm: 12 to 20 days
  • Stone size between 4 - 6mm: 30 to 45 days
  • Stone size is greater than 6mm: 6 months to 1 year
Risk factors of kidney stone:
  • Obesity
  • Heredity
  • Dehydration
  • High calcium supplements intake
  • Increased consumption of animal protein
Nephrolithiasis ICD 10:
  • Diagnosis Code for calculus of kidney and ureter: N20
  • ICD-10 Code for pelviureteric junction (PUJ): N20
  • ICD-10 Code for vesicoureteric junction (VUJ): N20. 1
  • ICD-10 Code for urinary (tract): N20.9
  • ICD-10 Code for suburethral and ileal conduit: N21.8
  • ICD-10 Code for hydronephrosis with renal and ureteral calculous obstruction: N13.2
Why NeuHealth care?
  • Free cab pick-up & drop
  • USFDA approved kidney stone treatment
  • Free follow ups post surgery
  • Covid free hospital, doctors and staff

Diagnostic Tests

Several diagnostic tests done before the ESWL treatment include the following –

  • Imaging tests (Xrays, abdominal ultrasound, MRI)
  • Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test
  • Blood test
  • Urinalysis

Procedure

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy is a non-invasive medical procedure that typically does not require anesthesia.

The patient is made to lie on a water-filled tub or cushion. The water acts as a medium between the machine and the organs to prevent damage to the surrounding organs. The surgeon uses several imaging tests like x-rays or abdominal ultrasound to determine the exact location of the stone. Once the stone is located, the surgeon releases a series of high-energy sound waves to break the stones into smaller fragments. The doctor carefully adjusts the power and intervals of the sound waves accordingly to break the stone into smaller pieces.

Once the stone is broken into smaller pieces, they are flushed out of the urinary tract. The whole procedure usually takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the stone density, medical health of the patient, and the surgical expertise of the surgeon. ESWL may not be an effective procedure for all types of kidney stones and may require multiple sessions to break them completely. The surgeon may also choose to insert a ureteral stent in case of a large stone. A stent enlarged the passage of the ureter for smooth movement of stones and help reduce the pain during the stone expulsion.
