What is lithrotrips?

Answer 1

Lithotripsy is a medical procedure used to break down kidney stones into smaller pieces, making them easier to pass through the urinary tract. The procedure typically employs shock waves, known as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), which are focused on the stones from outside the body. This non-invasive technique minimizes the need for surgical intervention and is often performed on an outpatient basis. Patients may experience some discomfort, but it generally has a high success rate in treating kidney stones.
