Kidney stones happen when minerals and different substances in your pee solidify in your kidneys, framing strong masses, or stones.

How Does Lithotripsy Work?
Lithotripsy utilizes sound waves to separate enormous kidney stones into more modest pieces. These sound waves are likewise called high-energy stun waves. The most well-known type of lithotripsy is extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).
Extracorporeal signifies “outside the body.” For this situation, it alludes to the wellspring of the shock waves. During ESWL, a unique machine called a lithotripter creates the stun waves. The waves travel into your body and split up the stones.
ESWL has been around since the mid-1980s. It immediately replaced surgery as the therapy of decision for bigger kidney stones. ESWL is a non-invasive methodology, which implies it doesn’t need a medical procedure. Noninvasive strategies are for the most part more secure and simpler to recuperate from than obtrusive systems.
Lithotripsy requires around 45 minutes to an hour to perform. You’ll probably be given some type of sedation (neighborhood, local, or general) so you don’t encounter any agony.

You will be situated on a surgical table. A delicate, water-filled pad might be put on your mid-region or behind your kidney. The body is situated so the stone can be focused on correctly with the stunning wave. In a more seasoned strategy, the patient is put in a tub of tepid water. Around 1-2 thousand shock waves are expected to pulverize the stones. The total treatment takes around 45 to an hour.
At times, specialists embed a cylinder through the bladder and string it up to the kidney only before SWL. These cylinders (called stents) are utilized when the ureter is blocked when there is a danger of contamination and in patients with horrendous agony or diminished kidney work.
How To Prepare For Lithotripsy:

Your primary care physician will most likely request that you quit taking these meds a long time before the strategy. Be that as it may, don’t quit consuming medications you’ve been recommended except if your primary care physician advises you to.

The waves will break the stones into little pieces that can undoubtedly be gone through your urinary framework.
After the procedure, you’ll go through around two hours in recovery prior to being sent home. At times, you might be hospitalized for the time being. Plan to go through one to two days resting at home after the system. It’s likewise a smart thought to drink a lot of water for half a month after lithotripsy. This will help your kidneys flush out any excess stone pieces.
