Summary

This study tests a new technique called Burst Wave Lithotripsy (BWL) that uses bursts of low-amplitude ultrasound to break kidney stones into tiny pieces during a standard surgical procedure. About 40 adults scheduled for stone removal will receive BWL to see if it is safe and effective at fragmenting stones. The goal is to offer a gentler alternative to traditional shock wave therapy.
