Ultrasonic lithotripsy usually requires inpatient treatment. Ultrasonic lithotripsy for stone removal requires the use of various instruments under anesthesia, such as a nephroscope or ureteroscope, while an ultrasonic lithotripsy energy platform is placed on top of the stone to complete the stone crushing. This requires inpatient evaluation under general anesthesia, which cannot be done on an outpatient basis. Outpatient lithotripsy can be performed using extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, which uses liquid electricity or electromagnetic waves to locate stones. After hospitalization, ultrasound energy can be used for lithotripsy. Ultrasound energy can be used for lithotripsy to powder the stones, and negative pressure can be used for lithotripsy and stone removal. Therefore, the lithotripsy procedure is performed in a hospital under anesthesia.
