In the present study, requirement of ancillary procedures (i.e.,
ESWL and URS) was not statistically significant (p-value = 0.652) between the study groups.
This observational study included 30 patients (the number of patients admitted to
ESWL in one month and compliant with inclusion criteria described) who were to undergo
ESWL procedure in Diyarbakir State Hospital, Turkey.
Thus, we present a case of perirenal hematoma and hematocele after
ESWL, a review of associated articles, and a discussion of the possible risk factors and treatments.
Results: Native thiol level was reduced at the 6th hour following
ESWL compared to baseline.
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (
ESWL) versus ureteroscopic management for ureteric calculi.
Although
ESWL is a non-invasive and safe procedure compared to other treatment modalities, it may also cause complications such as hemorrhage, steinstrasse, renal hematoma, infection, and flank pain.
Pancreatic duct stones have been effectively treated by a combination therapy of both EL and
ESWL as a first-line treatment method [34].
Steinstrasse is a rare complication most commonly described after
ESWL for nephrolithiasis.
Extra-corporeal shock wave lithotripsy (
ESWL) is a non-invasive treatment first introduced in the early 1980s.
With the recent advances in technology in addition to widespread use of the technique, today RIRS is used along with
ESWL and PNL for kidney stone management.
Only transurethral procedures in addition to extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (
ESWL), if applied, were used for the removal of DJS in all patients in the 6-12 months and 13-24 months groups.
