Life-Threatening Complication after Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy for a Renal Stone: A Hepatic Subcapsular Hematoma

Abstract: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has revolutionized the management of urolithiasis since it was first introduced in 1980. ESWL is a well-established, safe and effective therapeutic alternative to surgical treatment for urolithiasis. Complications of ESWL do occur in a small number of patients, and when they do, they typically involve the kidney. We present a case of a young female patient who developed a huge hepatic subcapsular hematoma accompanied by hypovolemic shock after ESWL for a 9 mm stone … Show more

“…In the urologic literature, multiple cases reports have described injuries to neighboring organ systems resulting either directly from parenchymal damage by dissipated shockwaves or indirectly from stone fragmentation following ESWL therapy for renal and ureteral stones [6][7][8][9]. Similar complications have resulted following pancreatic ESWL [3][4][5].…”

“…Ancak uygulanmaya başladığı dönemden itibaren böbrek parankimi üzerine olumsuz etkileri tartışma konusu olmuştur ve gelişmekte olan böbrek üzerine etkilerinin uzun dönem sonuçları yeni yayınlanmaya başlanmıştır (5,8). Komşu organlarda meydana gelen doku hasarı da yine SWL kullanımının sorgulanmasına neden olmaktadır (9). Benzeri problemler PNL için de geçerlidir (10).…”

“…Major complications are rare and include renal injury with hematoma and sepsis [1]. Infected hematoma may need percutaneous drainage [2], which in our case was complicated with duodenal injury. To our knowledge, we present the first case report of a successful endoscopic management of a duodenal injury that occurred during the percutaneous drainage of infected hematoma in the lower pole of the right kidney.…”
