Abstract
We performed extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy with a Dornier HM3 lithotriptor to treat a distal ureteral calculus. Although the procedure resulted in successful stone fragmentation, the patient incurred a large scrotal hematoma. We propose a mechanism for this previously unreported complication of shock wave lithotripsy and discuss recommendations for its prevention.
