ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy) is a non-invasive procedure used to break up kidney stones or stones in the upper urinary tract using focused shock waves generated outside the body. The waves travel through the skin and soft tissue without causing cuts, shattering the stone into small fragments that then pass naturally in the urine over the following days to weeks. It is typically recommended for stones up to approximately 2 cm in size that are causing symptoms or are unlikely to pass on their own. The procedure is usually performed under sedation and takes about 45 minutes to an hour, with most patients going home the same day. It is one of the first-line options for selected upper urinary tract stones and has been in clinical use for decades with a well-established safety record.
