Isolated Posttraumatic Lesion of the Ureter: A Rare Pathology

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Isolated traumatic ureteral injuries are uncommon physiological conditions that can be difficult to manage. This case concerns a 65-year-old man who was referred to the Urology Clinic, suffering left lumbar pain after falling from the same level. A computed tomographic scan revealed the presence of hydronephrosis and a significant perinephric extravasation. The patient underwent the insertion of a JJ stent due to acute renal failure, inflammatory syndrome, hydronephrosis, and the existence of a large urinoma. Postoperatively, remission of the inflammatory syndrome and acute renal failure was observed, and from a clinical point of view, the patient became asymptomatic. Three months after the surgery, the imaging studies show no urine leakage outside the urinary system.
