Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) ESWL is the most common way of treating kidney stones that can't be passed in the urine. It involves using ultrasound (high-frequency sound waves) to pinpoint where a kidney stone is. Ultrasound shock waves are then sent to the stone from a machine to break it into smaller pieces, so it can be passed in your urine.
Services and treatments offered: 1  Ureteroscopy: Removal of kidney stones through the urinary tract with the aid of a small camera. A ureteroscopy is a procedure sometimes recommended for the treatment of kidney stones. 2  Lithotripsy: The break down of kidney stones using shock (sound) waves. This is also called ESWL (extra-corporal shock wave lithotripsy). Lithotripsy employs high-energy shock waves to break the stones into tiny pieces, allowing them to pass through the urinary tract and out of the body.
