Summary

This study tests a new way to break up kidney stones using short bursts of low-power ultrasound, called Burst Wave Lithotripsy. It is done during a standard stone-removal surgery (ureteroscopy) in 40 adults. The goal is to see if this method is safe and effective at turning stones into tiny fragments that pass easily.
