Patient's question:
I have a kidney stone in my left kidney, approximately 1.20.7mm in size. It has now moved out of the kidney but got stuck in the mid-ureter, resulting in moderate hydronephrosis.Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is recommended to use the latest patented national extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) device for stone removal treatment; and to seek early treatment as soon as possible, as the stone removal effect is better. First, it should be explained that the principle of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is fundamentally different from extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). The advantage of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) lies in its lack of any damage to organs, thorough stone removal, minimal patient pain, and easy acceptance. In contrast, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) causes organ damage and is more painful.Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) technology is a national patented technology that adopts high-frequency superconducting fluid dynamic shock wave three-dimensional integrated stone removal technology, assisted by large digital B-ultrasound for positioning. It features accurate positioning, rapid stone removal, effective treatment of bile duct stones, ureteral stones, allowing stones to pass as they are removed, and particularly thorough removal of stones in intrahepatic bile ducts. The most prominent feature of this device is its humanized operability, thorough stone removal for various types of stones, wide range of indications, minimal side effects on the human body, painless stone removal process, generally no need for hospitalization, and low treatment costs, making it easily accepted by patients. It is a reliable, effective, simple, and practical treatment device with unique equipment and technical advantages. Therefore, it is currently the best choice for treating various types of stones.
The indications and scope of treatment for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) are as follows:
(1) For various renal and ureteral stones smaller than 1.2 cm, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) should be the preferred treatment. This is because it causes no kidney damage, ensures thorough stone removal, is safe and painless, and avoids the side effects of shock wave lithotripsy. If the stone diameter exceeds 1.2 cm, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) should first be used for crushing, followed by extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for thorough stone removal, achieving complementary advantages.
(2) This device is particularly suitable for acute ureteral stones and the resulting hydronephrosis, renal swelling, ureteral swelling, ureteral expansion, and renal colic. It can quickly remove ureteral stones, immediately relieve pain, and rapidly alleviate the above symptoms, making it the preferred treatment for ureteral stones.
(3) For patients with multiple renal stones complicated by contralateral ureteral stones, the ureteral stones should first be removed before the renal stones are treated to prevent the formation of a "stone street" in the ureter.
(4) For large renal stones treated with ESWL, the small residual stones in the lower pole of the kidney, renal pelvis, and calyces are the best indication for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) for thorough stone removal. This is because the handheld high-frequency superconducting shock wave probe can directly touch the lower pole renal stones, allowing them to move into the renal pelvis and ureter for removal.
(5) Suitable for the treatment of mud-like gallbladder stones smaller than 4 mm. The stone removal is thorough and painless, making it the best choice for treating gallstones. It is also the only device worldwide capable of removing stones in the liver and bile system.
(6) Particularly suitable for the treatment of mud-like stones in intrahepatic bile ducts and common bile ducts. The stone removal is thorough, symptoms are rapidly relieved, and there are no side effects. This solves the global medical of poor treatment outcomes in traditional medicine, the difficulty and incompleteness of surgical stone removal in modern medicine, and the frequent postoperative complications and recurrence.
(7) For the treatment of various types of stones due to complications such as urinary tract infections leading to pyelonephritis, ureteritis, cystitis, prostatitis, urethritis, and infections in the liver and bile system leading to cholecystitis and intrahepatic and extrahepatic cholangitis, the stone removal must first be treated with antibiotics to resolve inflammation before extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) can be performed.
Clinical observations by Professor Chen Bangjing suggest that extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a leading new technology for treating stones worldwide, with a national patent. It is currently the preferred method for treating renal stones, ureteral stones (which are generally removed within two hours), gallstones, and extrahepatic bile duct stones, as well as intrahepatic bile duct stones. Its completely thorough stone removal effect, lack of any organ damage, and low cost have benefited a vast number of patients. For stones beyond the scope of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) should first be used for crushing before stone removal. For large renal cast stones and gallstones, surgical stone removal is recommended as soon as they are detected.
