Since the FDA approved
ESWL device in 1984, it became an effective method for the treatment of renal and ureteric stones because of its simple, effective and safe method.
A KUB film showed no visible ureteral stone impaction, and therefore, the patient underwent subsequent
ESWL for the treatment of the right renal stone.
The Clinical Guidelines of the European Association of Urology (EAU) endorse the use of Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (
ESWL) together with retrograde intra-renal surgery for treating kidney stones ( 6 month
ESWL)###7(19.4%)
A double J stent was inserted in patients with stones > 15 mm in size, high-grade hydronephrosis (grades 3 and 4 defined by The Society of Fetal Ultrasound), and impaired renal functions before
ESWL.
Mobile Medical Technology is based in Christchurch and provides a mobile operating theatre environment with an
ESWL machine for the treatment of kidney stone and other calcifications, like biliary stones.
If the indwelling time of DJS in body is 13-24 months, transurethral endo-urologic approaches after
ESWL are sufficient.

What is Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (
ESWL)?
Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (
ESWL) has been widely accepted as the treatment of choice for renal stones less than 2 cm, with variable success rates of 60-99% across the globe.
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (
ESWL), intracroporeal lithotripsy/uteroscopy, and percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) are the major methods used for treating kidney stone management.
