Lithotripsy
When it comes to treating kidney stones, it’s not always necessary to undergo surgery. Austin Surgical Hospital’s Urology team uses Lithotripsy to treat kidney stones, whenever possible.
Lithotripsy is a medical procedure that uses shock waves to break up stones in the kidney and bladder. After the procedure, the tiny pieces of stones pass out of your body through your urine. The procedure is done in a single day, allowing you to complete your recovery in the comfort of your own home.
