Patient's question:
How to handle it when you get sickDoctor's answer:
Hello: It is recommended to use the latest national patented invention device - Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) for stone removal treatment; and to undergo early treatment as soon as possible, as the stone removal effect is better. First, it should be explained that the principle of ESWL is entirely different from that of Extracorporeal Shock Wave (ESWL). The advantage of ESWL lies in its lack of any damage to organs, thorough stone removal, and no pain for the patient. It is more easily accepted by the elderly, young, women, and children. In contrast, ESWL causes irreversible damage to organs and is more painful. ESWL is a national patented invention technology, employing high-frequency superconducting fluid dynamic shock wave lithotripsy in three dimensions, assisted by large digital B-ultrasound for positioning. It features accurate positioning, rapid stone removal, and complete removal of bile duct stones, ureteral stones, and intrahepatic calculi, especially for in the intrahepatic bile ducts. The most prominent feature of this device is its user-friendly operability, thorough stone removal for various types of stones, wide range of indications, minimal side effects on the human body, no pain during the 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 the best choice for treating various types of stones. The indications and scope of treatment for ESWL are as follows:(1) For various kidney stones and ureteral stones smaller than 1.2 cm, ESWL should be the first choice for stone removal. This is because it causes no kidney damage, ensures thorough stone removal, and is safe and painless, without the side effects of shock wave lithotripsy. If the stone diameter is greater than 1.2 cm, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy should first be used for crushing, followed by 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 dilation, and renal colic. It can quickly remove ureteral stones, relieve pain immediately, and rapidly alleviate the above symptoms, making it the preferred treatment for ureteral stones.
(3) For patients with multiple kidney stones on the same side combined with ureteral stones, the ureteral stones should be removed first, followed by the removal of multiple kidney stones, to prevent the formation of a "stone street" in the ureter.
(4) For large kidney stones that remain in the lower pole of the kidney pelvis or calyces after ESWL lithotripsy, small residual stones are the best indication for ESWL for thorough stone removal. This is because the handheld high-frequency superconducting shock wave transducer can directly touch the stones in the lower pole of the kidney, moving them into the renal pelvis and ureter for removal.
(5) Suitable for the stone removal of less than 4 mm of sandy gallstones. It ensures thorough stone removal without pain and is the best choice for treating gallstones. It is also the only device worldwide capable of removing stones from the liver and bile system.
(6) Particularly suitable for the stone removal of sandy intrahepatic bile duct stones and sandy common bile duct stones. It ensures thorough stone removal, rapid symptom relief, and no pain or side effects. It solves the global medical of poor treatment effectiveness in traditional medicine, the difficulty and incompleteness of surgical stone removal in modern medicine, and the frequent severe complications and postoperative recurrence.
(7) For the stone removal treatment of the above types of stones complicated by urinary tract infections leading to pyelonephritis, ureteritis, cystitis, prostatitis, urethritis, or infections of the liver and bile system leading to cholecystitis or intrahepatic and extrahepatic cholangitis, the inflammatory congestion and swelling of the mucosa must first be treated with antibiotics. ESWL stone removal can only be performed after the inflammation subsides.
Clinical observations by Professor Chen Bangjing suggest that ESWL is a leading new technology for treating stones worldwide, having obtained national patent approval. It is currently the preferred method for treating kidney 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 side effects, and low cost have benefited a vast number of patients. For stones beyond the scope of ESWL, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy should first be used for crushing, followed by stone removal. For large kidney cast stones and gallstones, surgical stone removal is recommended as soon as they are detected. If you need treatment, please communicate online. Thank you for your cooperation.
