Extracorporeal lithotripsy (ECL)

Urologist

When faced with a kidney or ureteral stone and depending on the size and location of the stone, it may be considered to be treated with ECL. This is an extracorporeal method that allows the stone to be fragmented using shock waves generated by a lithotripter. The contact of the treatment head with the patient's skin allows the shock waves to propagate and focus on the stone.
