Kidney stone fragmentation at Bochorishvili Clinic.

Innovative Service and Painless Treatment

In today’s medicine, kidney stone disease no longer represents a problem of such magnitude that can only be solved through complex surgical intervention. Academician Vakhtang Bochorishvili Clinic offers patients a completely new standard of service - kidney stone fragmentation using a latest-generation remote lithotripsy device. Many people are interested in whether stone fragmentation is possible at home, however medical intervention is significantly safer and more effective.

Our goal is to care for the patient’s health without any pain, incision, or prolonged rehabilitation period. In this article, we will discuss in detail why the urological service at Bochorishvili Clinic is distinctive and how STORZ MEDICAL MODULITH SLX-F2 technology helps patients quickly restore their quality of life.

The Importance of Timely Treatment of Kidney Stones

Kidney stones (urolithiasis) are one of the most common urological problems worldwide. According to statistics, millions of people face this diagnosis annually. Kidney stone fragmentation must be performed in a timely manner, as leaving the problem unattended may lead to serious complications such as:

1. Acute urinary obstruction: causing severe pain (renal colic);
2. Development of infectious processes: risk of pyelonephritis and sepsis;
3. Reversible or irreversible impairment of kidney function, which may ultimately result in kidney failure.

That is why at Bochorishvili Clinic special emphasis is placed on rapid diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment, where stone fragmentation is performed painlessly.

Revolution in Urology

In the past, stone treatment was often associated with open surgical procedures, which involved high risks and long recovery periods. Today this approach has fundamentally changed.

If you are wondering where lithotripsy is performed, Bochorishvili Clinic is the place you need. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is the safest and most effective method that allows stones to be fragmented without inserting any instrument into the body. It should be noted that laser stone fragmentation is a different method, while in our clinic shock wave stone fragmentation is performed completely non-invasively. The service implemented at Bochorishvili Clinic is based on Swiss company STORZ MEDICAL technology.

What Distinguishes Our Service?

At Bochorishvili Clinic, the patient receives not only technological precision but also full medical support. Our clinic offers the best balance between quality and value:

Shock wave lithotripsy: non-invasive and painless procedure.

Highest precision: stone localization is achieved with millimeter accuracy.

Rapid rehabilitation: the patient leaves the clinic the same day.

Individual approach: treatment parameters are selected according to the patient’s anatomy and stone density.

Technological Advantage

An integral part of our achievements is modern technology, specifically the premium-class MODULITH SLX-F2 device by STORZ MEDICAL. This device ensures the highest level of remote lithotripsy, i.e., shock wave stone fragmentation, with exceptional precision, which is critically important even in cases of large stones.

MODULITH SLX-F2 is equipped with a dynamic flat-panel X-ray detector (21 cm x 21 cm), ensuring maximum precise visualization of the stone. The “heart” of the device – the electromagnetic shock wave source - ensures optimal wave generation, while Dual Focus technology allows our specialists to precisely control shock wave energy. Intelligent control systems StorM-Touch and StorM-Base platforms ensure full process control.

Unlike older-generation devices on the market, which often cause complications such as hematomas and tissue damage, our MODULITH SLX-F2 is non-invasive and maximally protects the patient. Therefore, choosing quality treatment that includes the latest technologies and high safety is the most justified long-term investment in your health.

How Does the Procedure Proceed?

The treatment process with us is divided into several stages. Patients often ask what complications lithotripsy may cause; however, under proper diagnostics, risks are minimal:

Stage 1: Detailed diagnostics - comprehensive examinations are performed before stone fragmentation begins.

Stage 2: Personalized planning - the urologist determines the treatment strategy.

Stage 3: Lithotripsy process - the patient is placed on a comfortable table. Lithotripsy lasts from 30 to 60 minutes.

Stage 4: Monitoring and rehabilitation - after completion, the patient remains under observation for a short time.

For Whom is Lithotripsy Recommended?

This service is an ideal solution for those who:

• Have small and medium-sized stones (up to 2 cm);
• Wish to avoid surgical intervention;
• Need a quick return to work routine.

Integrated Systems and Safety

At Bochorishvili Clinic, the technology is fully integrated into the clinic’s unified network. This allows physicians to jointly manage the patient’s condition.
