Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy has become an established standard procedure for the treatment of nephrolithiasis. Almost 100 lithotripters are installed in large and medium-sized urological departments in Germany. The number of treatments per year averages 660 ESWL sessions per hospital.

At present there is a trend toward ambulatory ESWL treatment.
