Objectives: To report one case of urinary stone as a relatively frequent complications of urinary diversion using bowel loops.

Methods: We perform a short bibliographic review using the case report format.

Results: Stone formation in Bricker's type urinary diversion is secondary to various factors such as urinary stasis, bacteriuria, presence of intestinal mucus, metallic sutures, metabolic disturbances, etc.

Conclusions: Periodic control by radiological studies is recommended due to the high frequency of this complication in patients with urinary diversion. Treatment is usually conservative or minimally invasive, being surgery reserved for those cases in which stone extraction is not safe using other methods.
