Abstract:
A 13-year-old hypospadic boy with a urethral stone was successfully treated with extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy after various unsuccessful attempts at urological extraction. The easiness of ESWL application in this case and the quick elimination of the stone suggest that ESWL should be considered in the management of urethral calculi.
