Correction to: BMC Urol 2021 21(1):180 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12894-021-00946-w

Following publication of the original article [1], it was noted that due to a typesetting error the Fig. 1 was incorrect. The correct figure is given below.

Second, the authors would like to correct the reference number in the second paragraph under the heading Discussion section.

The sentence should read:

Although observation at 2–4 h after 5-ALA oral administration is recommended, the time of 5-ALA exposure to light may be less important, as it has been shown that no significant difference exists between exposure times of 2–3 h and 4 h or more [13].

The original article [1] has been corrected.
