Patient's question:
Hello. I checked yesterday and was told I have a kidney stone, 7mm. I would like to ask which is more suitable between extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and microwave lithotripsy. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
This depends on where your stone is located. Suggestions: If your stone is in the upper ureter, you can choose extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). For other locations, it is not suitable.
