Lithotripsy Academy Launch Webinar

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This webinar marks the official launch of Lithotripsy Academy and presents a comprehensive overview of modern shockwave lithotripsy practice.

Led by an international faculty, the programme explores the science behind shockwave generation, practical techniques for effective treatment delivery, patient and stone selection, treatment outcomes, safety, and follow-up. Through focused presentations and clinical case discussions, participants will gain a clearer understanding of how scientific principles, technical precision, and clinical decision-making work together to improve SWL outcomes.

The webinar is designed for urologists, technicians, operators, and healthcare professionals involved in the shockwave lithotripsy treatment pathway.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

By the end of this webinar, participants should be able to:

• Explain the fundamental principles of shockwave generation and how shockwaves interact with stones and surrounding tissue.
• Identify the key technical factors that influence effective SWL, including coupling, imaging, targeting, energy ramping, and treatment frequency.
• Assess patient and stone-related factors when selecting suitable candidates for SWL.
• Recognise the main determinants of treatment success, safety, complications, retreatment, and follow-up.
• Apply scientific, clinical, and technical principles to practical SWL treatment planning and case-based decision-making.
• Understand the mission, educational structure, and future vision of Lithotripsy Academy.
