What are the New Supportive Modalities in the Horizon to Increase the Efficacy of ESWL Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has long been a standard non-invasive modality for managing urinary stones, yet its efficacy remains suboptimal in certain scenarios due to variable stone composition, size, and anatomical factors. Recent advancements have introduced several supportive modalities aimed at enhancing stone fragmentation and clearance. Among these, Burst Wave Lithotripsy (BWL) emerges as a promising technology utilizing focused, low-intensity ultrasound bursts to achieve finer stone fragmentation with greater precision and reduced tissue injury. In parallel, adjunctive approaches such as external physical vibration, ultrasonic propulsion, and optimized patient positioning are gaining traction. Pharmacologic aids including alpha-blockers and potassium citrate have also demonstrated improved stone passage rates post-ESWL. Furthermore, artificial intelligence–driven targeting and real-time imaging advances contribute to improved shock wave focusing and treatment personalization. This review explores the evolving landscape of supportive technologies, with a focus on BWL and its integration with existing ESWL protocols, potentially reshaping the future paradigm of non-invasive stone management.
