Shock Wave Lithotripsy

Shock Wave Lithotripsy at CET CONSULT & Baskent Hospital

At CET CONSULT, in partnership with Baskent Hospital in Turkey, we offer state-of-the-art Shock Wave Lithotripsy, a non-invasive treatment designed to break kidney stones into smaller fragments that can pass naturally through the urinary tract. Our seamless, patient-focused process ensures you receive expert care from the initial diagnosis through to recovery, allowing you to return to your daily activities with minimal downtime.

What Is Shock Wave Lithotripsy?

Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL) is a minimally invasive procedure where high-energy shock waves are directed externally at kidney stones. These shock waves fragment the stones into smaller pieces, reducing or eliminating the need for invasive surgery. This treatment is effective in managing kidney stones while minimizing recovery time.

Pre-Operative Procedures

Diagnostic Imaging:
We conduct detailed imaging studies such as CT scans or ultrasound to precisely locate and measure the kidney stones, ensuring an accurate treatment plan.
Medical Evaluation:
A comprehensive review of your medical history and health status is performed to ensure you’re an ideal candidate for Shock Wave Lithotripsy.
Patient Preparation:
You’ll receive specific pre-operative instructions, which may include fasting and mild sedation to ensure your comfort during the procedure.

The Procedure

During Shock Wave Lithotripsy, high-energy shock waves are non-invasively directed at your kidney stones. The shock waves break the stones into smaller fragments that can be naturally expelled through your urinary tract. This approach minimizes pain and speeds up recovery compared to traditional surgical methods.

Post-Operative Care & Recovery

Observation:
After the procedure, you will be monitored for several hours to check for any complications.
Pain and Discomfort Management:
Mild pain or bruising is common post-procedure, and our team will provide appropriate pain relief medications to ensure your comfort.
Hydration:
We strongly recommend increased fluid intake to help flush out the stone fragments naturally.
Follow-Up Imaging:
Scheduled imaging tests are conducted to ensure that the stones have been adequately fragmented and passed from your system.
