At Manipal Hospitals Goa, Dona Paula, ESWL is performed using specialized shock wave lithotripsy techniques and comprehensive urological and imaging assessment. Established in 1994, this NABH accredited hospital in Panjim, India has 235 beds and offers advanced stone management and minimally invasive urology services.

ESWL may be considered for selected patients with kidney or ureteral stones that are suitable for fragmentation using external shock waves. Before treatment, imaging such as ultrasound, X-ray, or CT may be used to determine the stone's size and location and assess the urinary tract. During the procedure, focused shock waves are directed at the stone to fragment it into smaller pieces, which can subsequently pass through the urine.
