Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy-induced renal laceration.
After extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), perinephric hematomas, while uncommon, are a serious complication involving the risk of blood transfusion and subsequent impairment of renal function. We report a rare case of ESWL-induced renal laceration in which an expanding retroperitoneal hematoma required blood transfusion but was treated successfully without surgical intervention.
