What is it
Lithotripsy is a medical procedure used to break down kidney stones into smaller pieces that can easily pass out of the body through urine. It is a non-invasive technique that uses shock waves to target and dissolve the stones without the need for surgery. This procedure is often recommended for patients with large or painful kidney stones that cannot be passed naturally. If you are experiencing symptoms of kidney stones, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the best treatment option for your condition.
How it is done
Lithotripsy is a non-invasive procedure used to break down kidney stones into smaller fragments that can be easily passed out of the body through urine. During the procedure, high-energy shock waves are directed at the kidney stone to fragment it into tiny pieces. These shock waves are generated externally and targeted precisely at the stone location using imaging technology.
The patient is usually positioned on a cushion or water-filled tub to help transmit the shock waves effectively. The procedure is performed under sedation or anesthesia to ensure the patient's comfort and relaxation. After the lithotripsy session, patients may experience some discomfort and are advised to drink plenty of water to help flush out the stone fragments.
Overall, lithotripsy is a safe and effective way to treat kidney stones without the need for invasive surgery. It has a high success rate and minimal risk of complications, making it a popular choice for patients with kidney stone issues.
