“…Brusky and Tran5 reported a case of clip migration to the ureter following pyeloplasty. Shin et al , Yi et al , Mora et al , Tugcu et al , and Tunnard and Biyani reported clips that migrated to the urine bladder following radical prostatectomy 6–10.…”

A 78-year-old man was treated with laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for a 4 cm tumour in the lower pole of the left kidney. The patient was discharged 2 days postoperatively. Preoperatively there was no sign of metastasis; the pathology indicated complete removal of the tumour, a renal cell carcinoma. 53 days postoperatively the patient had acute onset of rectal bleeding. A colonoscopy revealed necrosis and three clips on the wall of the colon corresponding to where the descending colon passes over the left kidney. The patient was treated conservatively. Clip migration has been reported previously, but to our knowledge we present the first case of clip migration to the colon after laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Suggestions to avoid the presented complication are made.

A complication of using foreign materials in surgery is potential erosion into nearby tissues. The endoscopic removal of foreign bodies that have eroded into the urinary tract is a safe and minimally invasive option that has previously been described, most commonly in the bladder and urethra. We present the case of a patient who had a remote history of a pyeloplasty and was found to have different foreign bodies eroding into the ureter causing symptoms. To our knowledge, this is the first case where a patient presented with two different types of ureteral foreign body erosions that were each effectively treated endoscopically.

“…This device was first used in plastic surgery, but it has spread widely among other surgical fields . Its application in veterinary medicine has resulted in only a few reports, but its use has already been associated with reduced operative times . Several strategies have been described to avoid the reduction of tension during continuous anastomoses and decrease the number of intracorporeal knots, including the use of specific clips, such as LapraTy ® (Ethicon, Somerville, NJ) or Hem‐O‐Lok ® (Weck Closure Systems, Research Triangle Park, NC).…”
