I think that's traditionally done with lasers.
- bamboozled 1y agoThat’s transurethral lithotripsy.
- psunavy03 1y agoHaving had kidney stones, they're both used. I think for the sonic one they put you in a water bath because it conducts better. But as I understand it, the docs can pick whichever one is more optimal, be it shattering the stone sonically or zapping it with a laser.
- billforsternz 1y agoMy surgeon told me my previous kidney cancer surgery (partial nephrectomy) meant my 7/8 size kidney wouldn't handle ultrasound treatment for the big kidney stone I'd developed 10 years after the cancer. So laser instead! Worked well but not much fun at the time.
