“…There are too many treatment options for iatrogenic ureteric injuries. Urinary diversion, end to end anastomosis, primary repair, ureteric stenting, appendix interposition and autotransplantation are the treatment options stated in the literature [10,11]. The ureteric injury was partial, so we performed primary repair with JJ stenting in this case.…”

Iatrogenic Ureteral Injury During Incisional Hernia Repair in a Kidney Recipient

Incisional hernia is not a rare complication in kidney allograft recipients, due to prolonged dialysis, immunosuppressive drugs, especially, corticosteroids, and high prevalence of diabetes mellitus. Although the use of immunosuppressive drugs increases the risk of infection with synthetic materials, using mesh to prevent hernia recurrence in patients with multiple predisposing factors is safe and necessary. Repeated surgeries cause pathological distortion of anatomy which prevents the intraoperative visibility of the ureter and increases the risk of injury. In the present case, we report a very rare ureteric injury in a patient who underwent incisional hernia repair with propylene mesh after renal transplantation.

A case of ureteric injury postappendectomy presenting as ureterocutaneous fistula

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Ureteric injuries, although uncommon, are a potential complication in pelvic and gynaecological surgeries and can have serious implications. The risk is mainly related to the complexity of the surgical procedure and the presence of eventual periureteric pathology. Ureteric injury during appendectomy is rare. The ureter may be damaged by laceration, being crushed, or thermal or ischaemic injury. The retrocaecal appendix, due to its proximity to the ureter, may also get accidentally injured. The most effective measure to prevent iatrogenic injury is to have a sound knowledge of abdominal and pelvic anatomy, meticulous surgical technique and an identification of factors that increase the likelihood of developing such complications.

Ureteral injury during appendectomy

Abstract: A case is described of a patient whose right upper ureter had been injured during appendectomy. The defect was too long so we performed ileal substitution for ureter.
