Extracorporeal lithotripsy is a modern method of ultrasound stone fragmentation in the kidney and ureter without surgery. The method is also known as non-contact lithotripsy, because the shock wave passes through the tissues without incisions or direct contact with the stone. Focused energy precisely breaks the calculus into small particles, allowing safe removal of stones up to two centimeters and reducing the risk of recurrent pain episodes.

Features of Extracorporeal Lithotripsy
In recent years, stone treatment has become significantly less traumatic due to the introduction of lithotripters. These devices generate a focused shock wave in a water medium, which passes through the tissues and precisely breaks the stone located in the upper urinary tract. To help you navigate the process easily, we have briefly outlined the main stages of the procedure: when the method is used, how fragmentation takes place, and what sensations may occur afterwards.

Comparison of Extracorporeal Lithotripsy with Other Methods
Urology offers several methods for stone removal. Extracorporeal lithotripsy is used when the stone can be fragmented without contact with the organs and without endoscopic access. The method helps avoid surgery and is performed in the most gentle way.
If the stone is too dense, large, or positioned in a way that makes non-contact lithotripsy ineffective, laser lithotripsy is used. This is a contact technique that allows complex stones to be removed under visual control. More details about the laser method can be found on the page Laser Lithotripsy.
Both methods are available at New Life Clinic. The choice of treatment is determined after diagnostic evaluation and is always made in favor of the most effective and gentle option for the patient.
