A member asked:
How long does the actual lithotripsy procedure take? how many hours is the post-procedure recovery at the hospital? how long is total recovery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lithotripsy: Disclaimer- I don't do these procedures. "The procedure lasts about 45 minutes. If you have a large stone, you may need several sessions to completely break it." REF: https://patients.uroweb.org/treatments/shock-wave-lithotripsy/
