Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is an option in the management of urolithiasis. Despite its significant benefits, it has an undesirable outcome such as renal trauma. We report a case of a 38-year-old male with iatrogenic left kidney blunt trauma (AAST Grade IV-V) due to left ESWL, presented initially with unstable hemodynamic and successfully managed conservatively.
