ESWL Cost at Charite University Hospital

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a non-invasive treatment that uses shock waves to crush kidney stones into small pieces that can be easily passed out from the body through the urinary tract.

ESWL treatment takes about 45 to 60 minutes and can be performed in two ways. The patient is placed in a tub of lukewarm water in a way that the stones could be targeted precisely using ultrasound or X-rays.
