Background: Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) was the breakthroughin urolithiasis management in the 20th century. Objectives: to audit the outcome of ESWL and evaluate its cost effectiveness on thetreatment of stone disease in Gezira Hospital for Renal Disease and Surgery(GHRD&S), SudanMethods: This is a prospective study of 210 patients. ESWL was performed with SLXMX STORZ machine. The number of shocks administered, and the degree of energywere supervised with maximum allowance of 2500-3000 shocks and 5-7 energy inkidney and/or 3000-3500 shock 7-8 energy level for ureteral stone with modificationwhen it was indicated Results: Out of 210 patients; 28, 12, 28 and 2 patients had upper, mid, lower uretericand vesical stones respectively. Where as 140 patients had renal stones. The success rateof fragmentation of the stones with ESWL was 97.1% for the renal, 92 % for the upperand lower ureter and 83.3% for mid ureteric stones. Vesical stones were not amenable for fragmentation in this study. The overall success rate was 95%. The complications were haematuria in one patient, pain and steinstrasse in two patients. There were no cases of post ESWL renal failure, hypertension and/or residual calculi.Conclusion: This modality of treatment was found to be less costly, acceptable with short hospital stay and short work absence.
