ESWL treatment for kidney stones at Genesiss Multispeciality Hospital, BTM Layout, Bangalore. Consult expert urologists for non-surgical stone care.
ESWL is a non-surgical treatment used to break kidney stones into smaller fragments so they can pass naturally through urine. At Genesiss Multi-Speciality Hospital, ESWL treatment is offered after careful evaluation of stone size, location, and patient suitability. This treatment helps relieve pain, reduce blockage, and avoid invasive surgery in selected cases.
ESWL stands for Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy. It is a treatment that uses focused shock waves generated outside the body to break kidney stones into smaller pieces. These fragments then pass through the urinary tract over time.
ESWL does not require cuts or insertion of instruments into the body and is suitable only for specific types of kidney stones.
