Subcapsular renal hematoma after retrograde ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy: our experience.

CONCLUSIONS: Subcapsular renal hematoma represents a rare but potentially serious complication after ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy. Its real incidence and aetiology still need to be clarified. The elevated intrarenal pressures play an important role. Persistent hematuria, flank pain and haemoglobin drop should guide prompt investigation to reach an early diagnosis. In most cases a conservative management is sufficient. PMID: 30037212 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
