Who is suitable for
Lithotripsy?
All those patients, whose kidney are functional and don’t have
any distil obstruction are suitable candidates for E.S.W.L. This process is equally effective
& successful in whole of urinary system, whether the stone is lying in Kidney, Ureter or
Urinary bladder, what ever is the composition of stone, Calcium Oxalate, Phosphate,
Triple Phosphate, Uric Acid or Cystine, whether it is radio opaque or non radio opaque (visible
on x-ray or only visible on ultrasound). There is no age limit for Lithotripsy and
it is equally effective for one-year-old baby to hundred-year-old man.
Those patients, in whom, there is reformation of stones after
surgery, or those, who are suffering from hypertension (high blood pressure), diabetes,
hepatitis, having pacemakers or who are unfit for surgery due to medical or
anesthesia risk, are suitable for Lithotripsy in most of cases and this miraculous procedure has
emerged as great blessing and gift of God for them.
As far gallstones are concerned, only those patients are treated, who
fulfill the selection criteria for gallstone Lithotripsy. The decision about this is made after assessment of
the patient.
