Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
What is the renal stone clearance rate after ESWL in two groups of patients, with one group having an interval of one week between multiple sessions and the other group having an interval of three weeks between multiple sessions?

We hypothesize that an interval of one week between multiple sessions of ESWL is as effective as compared to an interval of three weeks between multiple ESWL sessions, with respect to renal stone clearance rates.
