Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Adult patient (\> 18 years old)
* With solitary upper ureteric stone (defined as ureter above the sacroiliac joint as seen on plain radiography) diagnosed by NCHCT \*(\* can have stones at the other site but the indexed stone is a solitary stone)
* Size 5 to 15 mm in the maximal diameter as measured from plain radiography.
* Planned for primary in-situ ESWL

Exclusion Criteria

* Patient contraindicated for ESWL - active urosepsis, coagulopathy, pregnant lady etc
* Presence of percutaneous nephrostomy or ureteric stent
* Suspected distal obstruction
