ESWL For Kidney, Ureteric And Bladder Stones!
Urinary calculi are common in some demographic areas of the sear (southeast Asia region) including India.
Whether present in the kidney, ureter or the urinary bladder, they can damage the kidney and can cause repeated urinary tract infections if not treated on time.
Many professions such as the aviation industry and naval services also do insist on the treatment of kidney stones as a prerequisite before recruitment.
ESWL or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy uses electromagnetic waves that are specifically targeted to the stones. Due to the latest advances in urological imaging software and hardware, stones located anywhere along with the urinary system - in the kidney, ureter or bladder can be treated by ESWL.
Individuals with urinary stones of all ages including infants, people with other existing cardiac and metabolic ailments and people with anonymous kidneys, can be treated successfully with ESWL.
