Lithotripsy can be a good treatment for rapidly growing kidney stones: Patients Journey

In this patient's journeys video, we delve into the remarkable case of a patient with a challenging 10mm PUJ (Pelvi-Ureteric Junction) stone, successfully treated using Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL). Join us as we explore the role of ESWL, a non-invasive procedure that utilizes shock waves to fragment stones into smaller pieces, allowing for easier passage or spontaneous elimination from the body.
We highlight the patient's journey through three ESWL sessions, each aimed at gradually breaking down the stone without the need for invasive surgery.
Throughout the video, we discuss the mechanism of ESWL, its benefits, and considerations in treating larger stones like the 10mm PUJ stone that have grown rapidly. We also touch upon post-treatment care and follow-up protocols to ensure optimal recovery and prevention of recurrence.
Whether you're a healthcare professional seeking insights into urological interventions or someone facing a similar condition, this video provides valuable information on the role of ESWL in managing challenging kidney stones, showcasing a successful outcome through this conservative yet effective treatment measure.
