Lithotrypsy can shatter a gallbladder stone with a minimum of discomfort.
You sit in a water bath and the device uses focused sound to target and shatter the gallstone(s) to sand, which is easily eliminated by the body.
Hope you feel better soon. gallstones can cause excruciating pain.

If what you are looking 4 is a way to avoid surgery, I'd get serious about doing a gallbladder flushes frequently. They are not easy to do, it is very uncomfortable and it takes about 2 days each round.
But they are simple.
Castor Oil Packs,
Apple Cider Vinegar,
Green Apples & Rhubarb,
Lemon Juice,
Unrefined Olive Oil,
Vit B,
High Potency Mg,
Probitics
and maybe a few other things
alot cheaper and soooo much less invase-
Keep Your Gallbladder - you'll miss it!

I'm not sure what your question is, but gallblader lithotripsy is an minimally invasive procedure that uses sound waves to break up gallstones. They locate the stones using ultrasound or x-ray, and then apply several thousand (painless) shock waves to them to try to bust them up into little bits. If they get them broken down small enough, the stones will resolve on their own.
