Abstract: 
A cystic calculus was removed by transurethral ballistic lithotripsy from the urinary bladder of a standing, sedated 16-year-old mare. A Lithoclast-EMS(R)-probe was used to fragment the stone into pieces, small enough to be removed either manually or by using a Young's forceps through the dilated urethra. Lithotripsy should be considered an appropriate method to fragment and extract large cystic calculi in standing mares. In male horses, a perineal urethrotomy is needed to use ballistic lithotripsy and for removal of fragments. Complete removal of all fragments should be established to prevent recurrence. In this article, the currently used methods of lithotripsy in the horse are discussed.
