| Abstract: | Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a widely accepted procedure for urolithiasis. However, the shock waves do not pass through the body without damage. Here, we reported a 57-year-old man who underwent ESWL four times before, and immediately developed acute pancreatitis and peritoneal abscess after ESWL for a right renal stone. Although the possibility of post-ESWL acute pancreatitis is extremely low, urologists must be aware of this vital complication. |
