ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy) at ISWARYA HOSPITAL, OMR Chennai

At ISWARYA HOSPITAL, we provide advanced Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) for the non-invasive treatment of kidney stones. ESWL is a safe and effective method that uses shock waves to break down kidney stones into smaller fragments, allowing them to pass naturally through the urinary tract. This procedure is ideal for patients who want to avoid surgery and experience minimal downtime.

Why Choose ESWL at ISWARYA HOSPITAL?

• Experienced Urologists: Our skilled team of urologists are experts in ESWL and ensure the highest standards of care throughout the procedure.
• Non-Invasive Treatment: ESWL is a completely non-surgical treatment, which means no incisions, minimal discomfort, and a quicker return to daily activities.
• Advanced Technology: We utilize the latest medical technology to ensure precise targeting of the kidney stones, reducing the risk of complications and ensuring effective stone fragmentation.
• Quick Recovery: ESWL allows patients to resume normal activities much faster compared to traditional surgical methods, making it a convenient option for kidney stone treatment.

How Does ESWL Work?

ESWL uses sound waves to create vibrations strong enough to break kidney stones into tiny pieces. The shock waves are focused on the stones from outside the body, and as the stones are broken down into smaller fragments, they can be passed out of the body through the urine over time.

Who Can Benefit from ESWL?

• Patients with Small to Medium Kidney Stones: ESWL is most effective for stones that are smaller than 2 cm in diameter and located within the kidney or upper part of the ureter.
• Those Seeking a Non-Invasive Option: If you’re looking to avoid surgery or more invasive procedures, ESWL is an excellent alternative with fewer risks and a quicker recovery period.

Benefits of ESWL at ISWARYA HOSPITAL

• Painless Procedure: Since ESWL is performed without making any incisions, most patients experience little to no discomfort during the treatment.
• Outpatient Procedure: ESWL is typically done on an outpatient basis, allowing you to return home the same day.
• Minimal Downtime: With no surgical wounds to heal, patients can resume normal activities within a few days of the procedure.

What to Expect During ESWL Treatment

Before the procedure, our specialists will conduct a thorough evaluation to ensure that ESWL is the right treatment for your condition. During the procedure, patients will either lie on a water-filled cushion or a specialized table while shock waves are directed at the kidney stones. The procedure typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour, and most patients can go home the same day.

After the Procedure

After ESWL, patients may experience mild discomfort as the stone fragments pass through the urinary tract, which usually happens over a few days. Our team provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and follow-up appointments to monitor the progress.
