Wiki One more question...

From what I can gather from the internet and my understanding of the procedures....

ESWL and laser lithotripsy are two very different things and:

ESWL - 50590

Laser - 52353

Is this correct?

Thank you for all your help!

Same type of procedure, different approaches:

ESWL/50590 is performed "outside" of the body using shock waves, while the Lithotripsy/52353 is performed "inside" the body through a cysto/ureteroscope.
