ESWL Lithotripsy at KIMS Hospitals, Secunderabad

Advanced Non-Surgical Stone Treatment with Dornier Delta III

KIMS Hospitals, Secunderabad introduces Dornier Delta III ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy) — an advanced, non-invasive technology for the treatment of pancreatic, biliary, kidney, ureter, and bladder stones.
