Patients who want to undergo extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy can go directly to the extracorporeal lithotripsy department if the diagnosis of kidney stones and urinary stones is clear. If the diagnosis is not clear, patients who only have renal colic or have discomfort in the kidney area and suspect stones can go to the emergency department of the hospital. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is now quite popular in hospitals. If there is no lithotripsy department, you can go to the urology department of the hospital for consultation, and in general, the urology department can perform extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy treatment is suitable for ureteral stones in the upper segment, and the lithotripsy treatment is effective. If the stones are too large, multiple lithotripsy can be performed with some success. If the stone is located in the bladder or lower ureter, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is not usually used.
