Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) has long been a reliable and non-invasive treatment for kidney stones. Over the years, advancements in technology have continually enhanced patient care by improving the precision and efficiency of this procedure. The latest innovations in ESWL are focused on precise targeting and increased treatment effectiveness, ensuring better outcomes for patients.
One notable advancement in Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy is the development of advanced imaging techniques. High-resolution ultrasound and fluoroscopy systems provide real-time imaging, allowing healthcare professionals to accurately visualize the stone and surrounding tissues. This enables precise targeting of the shock waves, minimizing damage to healthy tissue while effectively breaking down the stone.
