45 minutes 26 Enrolled 5.0 (4) All Levels

This course focuses on the clinical and technical strategies that enhance the success and safety of Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL). You will learn how to individualize treatment based on stone size, density, location, and patient anatomy, and how to adjust key parameters such as energy level, frequency, and coupling quality throughout the procedure.

Through practical insights and evidence-based guidelines, the course explains how to apply stepwise energy ramping, ensure precise targeting and monitoring, and minimize complications while maximizing stone disintegration. By the end, you will understand how to perform personalized and optimized SWL treatments for superior clinical outcomes.

Requirements

  • Participants should have completed a basic SWL or urolithiasis course or possess prior clinical exposure to lithotripsy procedures. A working knowledge of stone imaging, patient positioning, and treatment workflow will enhance understanding. Learners are encouraged to review the ramping protocol and case examples provided in each module and complete the interactive exercises and assessments to reinforce practical application of optimization techniques.

Audience

  • This course is intended for urologists, residents, and urotechnicians who already have a foundational understanding of SWL and wish to advance their practical and clinical expertise. It is ideal for professionals aiming to refine their treatment techniques, optimize patient outcomes, and align their practice with the latest international guidelines. Biomedical engineers and clinical trainers involved in lithotripsy setup and performance monitoring will also find this course highly valuable.

What Will I Learn?

  • In this course, you will learn how to optimize every stage of Shock Wave Lithotripsy (SWL) — from patient selection and stone assessment to real-time treatment adjustments. You will understand how to apply stepwise energy ramping, choose the right shock frequency and coupling technique, and interpret stone response during treatment. The course also covers methods to reduce renal stress, improve fragmentation efficiency, and ensure safe, reproducible outcomes aligned with international SWL guidelines.
