Areas of Care
Lithotripsy Unit
Overview
The lithotripter is a machine that produces shock waves that will hit kidney stones and break them into small pieces.
These small pieces will then pass in the urine. The unit is staffed by a urologist, an anesthesiologist, an x-ray technologist and a registered nurse.
Referrals
All patients need a referral from a urologist.
