Question

A 40-year-old male patient presents to the emergency department with severe left flank pain and hematuria. Diagnostic imaging reveals the presence of a large calculus in the left renal pelvis. After consultation with a urologist, it is determined that the patient will undergo lithotripsy (ESWL) to treat the calculus non-invasively. The patient is scheduled for an outpatient lithotripsy procedure. Under sedation, shock waves are delivered externally to the area of the left renal pelvis calculus, fragmenting it into smaller pieces that can be passed naturally through the urinary tract. The procedure is completed successfully, and the patient is discharged home with instructions for post-procedure care and follow-up. Detailed documentation of the lithotripsy procedure and its outcomes is recorded for medical records and billing purposes.
