Abstract
The postoperative complication rate of ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) is low, and the most frequent complication is fever. Thus, urological surgeons often neglect or are unaware of subcapsular renal hematoma (SRH) as a rare complication following URSL. Although a SRH after undergoing URSL is uncommon, the occurrence may be fatal. The current study reports on a rare life‑threatening case that occurred recently at Zhongnan Hospital (Wuhan, China). A 24‑year‑old male patient presented with a large SRH (11x14x11 cm) after undergoing a failed, but minimally invasive URSL with a holmium laser. The presence of the large SRH was confirmed by computerized tomography imaging. The patient underwent conservative management, which prevented hematoma enlargement, and no further treatment was conducted. In conclusion, SRH, although rare following URSL, should be noted by the urological surgeon.
