Woodlands Hospital offers advanced ESWL using modern extracorporeal shock wave technology and individualized urological care plans. Established in 2001, the accredited hospital is located in Darlington, United Kingdom and has 38 beds, providing comprehensive urological and minimally invasive care for local and international patients.

ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy) is a non-invasive treatment used to break selected kidney or urinary tract stones into smaller fragments that can be passed naturally through the urinary system. The procedure uses focused shock waves directed at the stone from outside the body. Depending on the stone's size, location, composition, and the patient's clinical condition, one or more treatment sessions may be required.
