Kidney stones are known to human mankind since antiquity and their treatment has significantly changed over a period of time from a morbid open surgery to minimally invasive surgery. During this course of evolution, Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) was invented.
The first ESWL treatment of a human was performed on February 07, 1980 by Christian Chaussy, Dieter Jocham & Bernd Forssmann in Germany. The results with this new treatment modality were so successful that it thoroughly revolutionised modern stone management. Till date, ESWL remains the least invasive and the most safest treatment modality for Kidney & Ureteric Stones.
The technology of ESWL has been refined over a period of time. Unlike in the past, the procedure is now performed without anaesthesia and the patient can be discharged to work within few hours.
