Abstract

We report a case of impaction of stone fragments in the lower ureter after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in situ of an upper ureteral calculus resulted in a ureterovaginal fistula. Ureteroscopic retrieval of fragments and stenting provided symptomatic relief. The pathogenesis of this complication, which to our knowledge has not been reported previously, is discussed.
