Abstract


Background: Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) has become a preferred modality for the treatment of small urinary tract stone.

Aim: to analyse the outcome of ESWL and evaluate its benefits on the treatment of stone disease in a tertiary care center of central India.

Material and Methods: This is a prospective study done in Chirayu Medical College hospital Bhopal in 105 patients from Jan 2011 to Jan 2015. ESWL was performed with STORZ SLX- F2 machine. The number of shocks administered, and the degree of energy were supervised.

Results: In our series amongst 105 patients, 70 patients were having renal stones. Solitary renal stone was most common type seen in our series. Overall Success rate in our study was 95%.Minimum shockwaves were needed for renal and upper ureteric stones and maximum was needed for bladder stone. High success rate with ESWL (97.14%) was seen with renal stones. There were no cases of post ESWL with acute or chronic renal failure, hypertension or residual calculi.

Conclusion: ESWL has become the preferred tool in the Urologist’s armamentarium for treatment of urinary calculi in appropriate cases because it is minimally invasive.
