Abstract:
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy was used to treat multiple, large, bulbous urethral calculi in a paraplegic man. Prior attempt at endoscopic extraction was unsuccessful owing to the size and location of the calculi. Two treatments of 3,000 shocks each resulted in fragmentation of the calculi
