Deskripsi

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is commonly used to fragment renal calculi. This treatment modality is considered safe with minimal complications. We report a case of massive retroperitoneal hematoma following extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in a patient with no comorbidity and normal coagulation parameters. Patient was managed conservatively and had excellent recovery with normal renal function.
