Results for tag: "Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy"

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat kidney stones. It uses shock waves to break up stones into smaller pieces that can be passed naturally. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes less than an hour. The patient is placed on a water-filled cushion and shock waves are directed at the stone from outside the body. The ESWL market is growing due to the increasing prevalence of kidney stones and the growing demand for minimally invasive treatments. The procedure is also cost-effective and has fewer risks than traditional open surgery. Additionally, technological advancements in the field have improved the accuracy and effectiveness of the procedure. Some companies in the ESWL market include Storz Medical, Siemens Healthineers, and Dornier MedTech. Show Less Read more
