Effective Kidney Stone Treatment Without Surgical Cuts
ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy) is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused shock waves to break suitable kidney stones into smaller fragments, allowing them to pass naturally through the urinary system.
Consult an experienced urology specialist to understand your stone size, location, and condition, and find out whether ESWL is an appropriate treatment option for you.
The Right Treatment Starts With Accurate Evaluation.
A detailed assessment of your kidney stone helps determine its size, location and suitability for ESWL. Our specialists review your medical history and investigations before recommending the most appropriate treatment approach.

What is ESWL?
ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy) is a non-invasive method of treating selected kidney stones without making a surgical incision.
During the procedure, controlled shock waves are focused on the stone from outside the body. These waves gradually break the stone into smaller pieces, which can then move through the urinary tract and pass out naturally.
- No surgical incision is required.
- Focused shock waves target the identified stone.
- Stone fragments are reduced into smaller pieces.
- Treatment planning depends on stone size and location.
- Follow-up helps assess stone clearance.
Is ESWL Right for You?
Not every kidney stone requires the same treatment. ESWL may be considered when the stone’s size, location and other clinical factors make shock-wave treatment suitable.
