Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) uses shock waves to break a kidney stone into small pieces that can more easily travel through the urinary tract and pass from the body. You lie on a water-filled cushion, and the surgeon uses X-rays or ultrasound tests to precisely locate the stone. After the procedure, you'll spend about two hours in recovery before being sent home. In some cases, you may be hospitalized overnight. Plan to spend one to two days resting at home after the procedure. It's also a good idea to drink plenty of water for several weeks after lithotripsy.

Eswl as very limited indication these days as most of stones can be completely removed with endoscopic surgery. Recurrence rates and relapse rates are high with eswl treatment.
