Abstract

Shock wave lithotripsy(SWL) has been considered as a contraindication in a patient with bleeding diathesis. However, appropriate pre-treatment made it possible recently. We present a case of ureteral stone patient with hemophilia A which was resolved successfully using SWL and this would be the first report concerning SWL in a hemophilia A patient in our country.
