Reviewer's report:  
 
Dear Editor, I've read with great interest the case  report by Yu Liu and co -workers entitled: 
"Colonic Hematoma after Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy for Pancreatic Stones: A case 
report"  
 
The case is of great clinical interest and is well written.   
 
To date there are no similar cases described in the literature and I think this could be of interest 
for the Readers of your Journal.  
 
 
minor comments:  
 
the Authors should address how this possible complication could affect our approach and the 
outcome of th e ESWL procedure; what is the real clinical impact? should we start changing 
anything in the post -procedure perios?
