Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy (ESWL) refers to the procedure of breaking kidney stones into tiny pieces using shock waves.
ESWL is often performed as an outpatient treatment, which means you do not have to spend a night in the healthcare facility or hospital after the procedure.
Fragmented kidney stone pieces would then be expelled out of the body through the passage of urine. If your stone is larger, you may require more therapies.
